Right..

Sure, so -inf means the calculation resulted in a value out of bounds
by the used data type. The issue lies in the wide range of values that
we run into for analysis in very noisy environments. One alternative I
considered was to use __float128 instead of long double for the
interference_factor but I was unable to figure out how to print these
correctly.

Can you test with the latest ACS patches I posted for hostapd with
debugging and see the values you get there?
