Hi Dirk-Willem,

first of all, thanks for your efforts. I hope they will be integrated
in FreeBSD.

Regarding the lost link, I think that allowing for a fine granularity
is a plus, ie having maybe a "generic" lost link and then more detailed
lost link or whatever names like the ones you listed.

You may also want to have a look at Wireless Tools for Linux

they might have already considered this.

thanks again and keep up the good work :-)
