I have spoken to both Cisco and Tivoli and opened tickets with both on this same subject in the past year.
What we found out with some pain points.
We implemented a sort of mid level solution. WLSE is a Cisco Appliance for Wireless LAN Solution Engine providing the some of the following features;
ap availability
radio thresholds
eap
wep
leap
and other security features all the way to the client. Also bridges, rogue ap ( just in case some yahoo plugs in a fry's linksys on the corp network ) and some other cool configuration features.
This was by no means easy for me as a newbe NetView/Tivoli Administrator. But with 3rd level support from Netview they were able to help me see this to light and we now have the wlse talking all the way to TEC and the 7x24 staff.
If you would like more information on this, and how we use I would be glad to share.

Subject: [nv-l] Monitoring Access Points |
Hello List,
I cant find the answer in archive so I am not sure if anyone has encountered this.
Can Netview monitor the radio side of an access point?
In particular AIX 5.2 Netview 7.1.4 Cisco 1210 Access Points.
We are monitoring BVI side but we also need to know if the radio goes does. Any ideas?
Is this a Cisco TAC or Tivoli Tech question? I haven't open a ticket with either one just wanting to know
Thanks, Catalina
