feat: wireless monitor

[reinzor]

Monitors a given wireless interface using psutil and iwconfig. Follow up of #8 (comment)

[k-okada]

Thanks, so should we Close #8 and use this one? Please set version 0.2.1 for your package.xml

[reinzor]

I guess so. Regarding the version bump, I think this should always be up to the maintainer who makes the release with the required catkin release tools: catkin_generate_changelog, catkin_prepare_release and bloom-release.

Ok, before that , please add ‘wireless-tools` rosdep keys, os use available key. https://travis-ci.com/ros-drivers/linux_peripheral_interfaces/builds/136987617

ping! ros/rosdistro#23060 is merged

[reinzor]

There seems to be interest in this. Any time to look at this PR? Otherwise I will close it due to inactivity.

[reinzor]

Nobody seems to care, closing PR

@reinzor @furushchev nice work!
I'm just not sure if wifi capability is worth a new package (I'm afraid doing so would raise the level of maintenance burden).

Without knowing this PR, I opened #20 to add a pkg to cover functionalities for non-sensor, computer hardware (as there's already a pkg for sensors on this repo). If it makes sense, I'm interested in adding your work into the new package I'm suggesting to add.

(Since #20 is supposed to be a generalized copy of the package that has existed somewhere else, I want to keep #20 as is. I can add the wifi stuff in another PR).

[reinzor]

Thanks @130s , I don't think this package is actively maintained anymore but you can try to ping the maintainers. Would be nice to see this merged.
