[orbit-user] Measuring RSSI per received packet, using Atheros?

[KC Huang]

Hi Kishore:

I am KC. Now I also want to catch RSSI from wifi card with madwifi or intel driver. I asked Ivan how to write some codes like python to get RSSI value and he said about "Libmac". But I cannot download the source code from SVN cause I don't have the permission. So, I am wondering if u can send me the source code? I checked the website of libmac and it seems u wrote the codes.

Thanks for ur help!!
KC

  Hi Rodney:

  I believe madwifi also supports this feature - if you put the card in monitor mode and use tcpdump, RSSI is available on the received packet as part of the prism header.

    The Intel Pro Wireless devices, via the ipw2200 driver, are able to report RSSI per incoming packet, and thereby determine the signal strength from each neighbour individually.

    Does anyone know if the Atheros based devices are able to support this feature, either via the madwifi driver, or another driver?

    many thanks,
