[ath9k-devel] Get RSSI from each antenna ?

[SW 222727]

Hi !

I'm working on a master thesis where I (desperately) need to get the 
values of the RSSI at _*EACH*_ antenna (not just the best one, an 
average or any combination). I work with OpenWRT on a AR9103 3x3 chipset 
(so I need 3 RSS values), but I found no way to retrieve them from 
driver. Is there any way to get them, through the /proc/ filesystem, or 
iwpriv calls, or any utility ?

On the mailing list I saw that Rakesh Kumar mentioned these variables : 
ts_rssi_ctlX and ts_rssi_extX ; they seem to be what I need, any way to 
retrieve them (if possible without having to recompile the driver 
itself, my skills are limited and it's not easy on OpenWRT).

Thanks for any answer !

Peace.

Hi,

Just using printk() works enough to get RSSI for each of the antennas.

>if possible without having to recompile the driver itself
As long as I know, I have no idea.

To tell the truth, I'm also working on the same thing using a 2x3 chipset
for my master thesis (what a coincidence).
If you have any further question, you can ask anything.

[ath9k-devel] Get RSSI from each antenna ?

[Adrian Chadd]

I've been meaning to extend the radiotap API in FreeBSD to include the
ctl+ext RSSI/NF for each radio chain.

Perhaps it's time that both Linux and FreeBSD did this? Is there an existing
set of radiotap parameters (that FreeBSD currently doesn't have in its
header declarations) for MIMO radios?

Thanks,


Adrian
