ok, will try it out.
regarding the presence detection. you are right about the power saving but somehow it works great on my router. maybee because i look for a macaddress present. the router behaves different that let's say nmap or arp . as far as i can tell it works even when any iphone goes to sleep
i use this command to scan for macaddresses
wl -i eth1 assoclist;wl -i eth2 assoclist
