The noise value will be missed. It's useful to see the signal to noise ratio. I have little trust to the absolute noise values, but I know that the connection is bad if signal is just 3 dBm above the noise measured by the same card with the same antenna on the same channel. Maybe it would be better to remove per-packet noise only when the "next generation noise" is implemented? It could be a batch of patches. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
