So what might be > the problem is that rt2x00 is not reporting the RSSI correctly to mac80211. No, we don't care at all about RSSI in rc80211-pid. > I have to admit that I haven't looked into the 'pid' algorithm closely, > but could it be that some fields in the tx status report upon txdone > are being treated as "very important" while the driver doesn't report it > (For example ack signal strength)? The only important thing drivers should report back to mac80211 are ACKed frames. In rc80211-pid (and it's just the same in rc80211-simple) the only inputs from mac80211 are succesfully (re)transmitted frames and failed frames. -- Ciao Stefano - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
