[PATCH] Add absolute signal and noise to radiotap header on rx

Reported by: smr26@cs.waikato.ac.nz Assigned to: mrenzmann
Priority: major Milestone: version 0.9.3
Component: madwifi: other Version: trunk
Keywords: Cc:
Patch is attached: 1 Pending:

Description

Adds the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_ANTSIGNAL and IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_ANTNOISE fields to the radiotap header on rx. This is useful as the current current signal field is relative to an arbitrary value (in this case the noise floor) which an application parsing the radiotap headers would not necessarily be aware of.
