Haven't run into issues with running out of buffer space in my testing.
But yeah, guess that could become an issue.

Yeah, makes sense. Can do a larger reorg moving things into the
per-netdev and per-station directories instead.

Well I though they should be logically grouped with overlimits, and was
counting on no one actually parsing these yet. Guess if the information
is moved that becomes moot.


Will re-send; thanks for the feedback :)
