Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] wifi: brcmfmac: core: populate radiotap header with RSSI
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:21:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730162135.12278-3-shivesh@example.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260730162135.12278-1-shivesh@example.com>
From: Shivesh <chanelshivesh@gmail.com>
Populates the radiotap header with dbm_antsignal using the rssi
value extracted from the firmware's hardware RX header, fixing
missing signal data in monitor mode captures.
