One note about raw sockets: you should use AF_PACKET RAW as socket type.

The answer is no. A single RSSI value of a frame says nothing about
something... We want to collect them in kernelspace e.g. wireless
station dump and make some mapping from $NODE_ADDR (complicated
because short/extended mapping).
There exists some thesis branch on github which I did for my "thesis"
but not ready to bring upstream at all...

> confirm. Could energy detection level value used instead? Also, is it possible to set transmitter power

Also no energy detection and no LQI...

Transmit power is possible (depends on driver support), but not per frame...
