You may be stuck with to trying to script something. Check the airodump
output formats to see if you can get something that's easily parsable and
has the signal strength info you're looking for. You can then filter
the entries based on MAC and output just the info for the one you're
looking for.

Perhaps you could try creating a FIFO and having airodump write to it;
your script can then pull data from the FIFO as it becomes available.

I am by no means a Python or ncurses programmer, but I would think I would be able to figure this out. I guess not :( Here is what I have so far:

#!/usr/bin/env phthon

import curses

# create curses screen using whole display

stdscr = curses.initscr()

# I realize this is an infinite loop

while True:

# parse the CSV file

for line in open('foo-01.csv'):

# look for the line with the right MAC

if line.find(':5A:84') != -1

# send the line to the screen

stdscr.addstr(0, 0, line)

# redraw the screen

stdscr.refresh()

# I realize I am not properly cleaning up, but will get to that later

When I run this I get a blinking cursor. If I create a variable in the code and send that to the screen it works. If I just print the line variable using print() it prints out the line. What am I missing.
