[PATCH] mac80211: return the RSSI in dBm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

For the sake of speed of calculation and number accuracy,
mac80211 tracks the RSSI in dBm * 16. But it forgot to
divide back by 16 when the RSSI is asked by the driver.
