[PATCH/RFC] mac80211_hwsim: report fixed signal strength

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

 



There's no reason to think that hwsim has any
actual signal strength, but for testing it is
very useful to have it report _some_ value to
the stack so I can see if the value ends up
being reported correctly

Anyone have any objections? I'm not sure -- but it's still useful at
least for me testing the upper layers.
