[Madwifi-users] How RSSI values are updated for each neighbor node ?

[Fehmi B.A. <fe...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm using current madwifi and noticed that RSSI values for a given
neighbor node (retreived for instance with "watch -n 1 iwlist ath0
ap") seem to converge quite slowly when this node has just changed its
tx power, or when it has just moved away quickly...

I'm wondering if RSSI values are real time values, or if they are
calculated from a sample of last beacons received. Does any one have
more details about how exactly RSSI values are updated ?

Thanks for your help !

Fehmi.
