FW: Converting signal and noise values to dBm

[Varga Dávid]

Hi!

 

Does noone know the answer? I received a solution, that subtracting 256
would be fine, but it doesn't give the values displayed by iwconfig (anyway,
thanks Drew!).

Please help!

Thanks,

David

Subject: Converting signal and noise values to dBm

 

Hello!

I'd like to convert the rx_stats->signal and rx_stats->noise values in the
hostap_80211_rx.c to dBm.

At the moment I use printk(KERN_DEBUG "%d %d", rx_stats->signal,
rx_stats->noise); 

and it gives me back signal rates 180.230 and noise rates 160.170.

I tried using printk(KERN_DEBUG "%d %d",
HFA384X_LEVEL_TO_dBm(rx_stats->signal),
HFA384X_LEVEL_TO_dBm(rx_stats->noise));

but it still doesn't give me the negative dBm values that iwconfig does.

Could anyone help with this?

Thanks;

David
