Unfortunately you cant get notified for this via PropertyChanged since its a DBus method rather than properties. This was done because some of the client info can change quite frequently (RSSI, Tx/Rx rates/modes etc) and we didn't want to flood DBus with these messages constantly. In iwctl we actually poll this information every second.

Thanks, James

I will say there is very little information here. What card are you using?

James pointed you to the Diagnostics API, but that is really meant to be polled since the information changes way too frequently and it is only useful as a 'snapshot'. What you need is a dedicated API that would inform the application via D-Bus when a new client has connected / disconnect. This would need to be modeled as a D-Bus property, or perhaps using an Agent type API. Not something we have planned to work on just yet. Patches are always welcome.
