Ok, that was clear to me. I don't know where you read that i want my own RSSI? That would just make no sense. > Not all drivers report RSSI in adhoc mode at this time.

Maybe i should point out, what i am trying to do :) I need the RSSI values for distance measurements between the nodes. So what i need is not a "quality value" for the whole network, but the recieved mW from every reachable point in the network. So i think the RSSI value for every network node (if i can print them out seperatly) should do the job.
