[PATCH 6/7] rtl8xxxu: Fix the reported rx signal strength

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

 



From: Chris Chiu <chiu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In rtl8xxxx_rx_query_desc for each chip in rtlwifi family, the
rx_status->signal is always the status->recvsignalpower + 10.

We also observe the same thing in air capture that the RSSI is
always ~10dBm higher than reported from driver.

Add this 10dBm to avoid confusion.

(cherry picked from commit e1a4f83da577474dfa23e85483a83eb7fb707edc)
