Has anyone written relevance that will pull the Wireless Signal strength from WMI?

We’ve got some mobile workstations that are having all kinds of problems and we’re trying to see if the signal is low or spotty.

Anyone have any ideas?

What does this return on your system:

selects “* from MSNdis_80211_ServiceSetIdentifier” of wmi “root\wmi”

Hmm… I guess that is not particularly helpful…
