Subject: mac80211_hwsim: handling RSSI

Hi,

I am developing a wireless network emulator
(https://github.com/intrig-unicamp/mininet-wifi) and I was wondering
what is the best way to change the RSSI information provided by
mac80211_hwsim. I am able to calculate the RSSI with my emulator, but
the RSSI is not updated by mac80211_hwsim, of course. Do I have to
make changes in nl80211?

Thank you in advance,
Ramon Fontes
