It's used, as far as I can tell, only to display the RSSI and link speed values for 802.11 interfaces in the Capture -> Interfaces dialog.

If that information is useful in that dialog, we should update it to support GTK+ 3.0, and should consider adding code to fetch those values on other platforms where it's available (and I should consider adding APIs to get it in libpcap/WinPcap).

If that information isn't useful, we might just want to remove that display.

I don't know whether it's useful in that context or just being displayed because we can fetch it.
