This is what I would have done if left to my own devices.  It is indeed much
simpler.  But Greg and Sam wanted to do a moving average of signal strength,
which is why I did the rssi history array.

My patch also contains code to update the signal strength on beacons.  This
provides a much nicer signal strength when there is little or no traffic
across the interface (which is typically when you really need to see the
signal strength).
