Subject: [PATCH v2] cfg80211/mac80211: report signal strength for mgmt frames
Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:18:41 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1330982321.3545.13.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120305204251.GH18128@tuxdriver.com>
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Add the signal strength (in dBm only for now) to
frames that are received via nl80211's various
frame APIs.
Cc: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
