If you don't like that, then y= ou=20 do care. I think "level" isn't very intuitive for a number that's either RSSI or dBm= ,=20 however. I recommended "signal" instead which seems to better suggest a=20 measure of signal strength/level, at least until we come up with a better=20 statistics reporting system in cfg80211. =2DMichael Wu --nextPart1402475.yjqoHy5KmQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGIUrZT3Oqt9AH4aERAk5FAKCKiDwt9UqGV+9pY3W0Kz7kUxYiogCeJl1F iwhKNgdCM0IXkDqtaYFhRgg= =hjkq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1402475.yjqoHy5KmQ-- -: To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org: More majordomo info at http: //vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
