Hi,

What I've learned so far from this thread is that rs_rssi (struct
ath_rx_status) is actually an SNR (not an RSSI), in dB.
What's not yet clear to me is how is this value obtained. My guess
from Alex's explanation is that it is the result of subtracting the
gain of the AGC during a short period of silence, from gain locked on
packet's preamble ... ?????

If SNR is computed during packet's preamble (which I presume should be
identical regardless of the modulation used for data), why for a given
tx power, I got a lower SNR when I use faster modulations? The
difference between MCS0 and MCS7 is about 6dB (same for MCS8 and
MCS15).


Please, someone shed light...


Thanks!
