We can verify if the antenna connectors are proper or not by checking the RSSI value of each antenna, Also this will be helpful for outdoor installation where they use dual polarized antennas for PtP and PMP systems -- Thanks and Regards, Dino Joseph Mycle, Ext: 3299, +91 9916888337 Sasken Communication Technologies Ltd. -----Original Message----- From: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org [mailto:linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of sylvain_gmail Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 1:35 PM To: Kalle Valo Cc: Victor Goldenshtein; Johannes Berg; linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH] mac80211: add command to get current rssi it can be very useful when you installed multiple polarization antennas.
