But we don't really need to average by ourselves, the GET_RSSI has an average weight parameter. We can store this in priv->avg_rssi and priv->avg_noise to re-use it later. > 2) Use the windowed average for 'iwconfig'/SIOCGIWSTATS, the > Ad-Hoc scan result, and scan results on the current channel The patch as it is doesn't use any averaging for 'iwconfig'/SIOCGIWSTATS, it just uses the value from GET_RSSI, which is from the beacons of the associated AP. Together with the changed (simplified) quality calculation I now get a fast-enought changing display for a moving station. And it's no longer jerky as it used to be, despite the missing averaging. This non-jerkyness might come from the fact that RXPD packets aren't taken into account anymore. So I'm not sure if any averaging here will be an improvement, at least not for moving stations. It might be nicer for an office PC, thought. I don't have a problem with priv->avg_noise for scan results and no problem at all what you want to do with AD HOC :-) > > 3) Use the default noise floor for all channels not the > associated channel > > If you like, I'm interested in doing this. > > Dan -- 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
