Subject: [PATCH] carl9170: fix signal strength reporting issues
Date: Sun, 2 Dec 2012 16:52:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201212021652.00954.chunkeey@googlemail.com> (raw)
On A-MPDU frames, the hardware only reports valid
signal strength data for the last subframe.
This patch fixes it by flagging everything but the
last subframe in an A-MPDU to tell mac80211 to
ignore the signal strength entirely. Otherwise
the empty value (= 0 dbm) will distort the
average quite badly.
