Are you serious?
I guest you are not a hardware type.
First, the wireless network card must have the proper circuit to detect
the signal strength (usually an A to D converter). If it does have it,
you need to know how to read that data (usually through an I/O port
adr). This would require you to have the technical specifications, or
the programmers guide for that specific card.
