Re: [PATCH] Change the threshold for background scanning, -45 is actually very good RSSI.

Hi Pasi, With quite many Qualcomm based Android devices WCNSS settings have: gNeighborLookupThreshold=76 gNeighborReassocThreshold=81 So having -65dBm instead of -45dBm should be still reasonable. Depends on the chip, antenna, driver... It's really particular to all hw. Myself at 3m, I have

Hi Pasi, How did you evaluated that -65dbm is better than -45dbm? On scanning events amount? -65 is usually already low signal. (relatively to the noise however) Depends on what you are trying to achieve, a better user experience (better connectivity) or better battery life. I bet such backgro

Background scanning is done too often per default as RSSI -45 for WLAN is actually very good. Changing it to -65 makes it behave better (same value is used by NetworkManager). Signed-off-by: Pasi Sjöholm --- plugins/wifi.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/plug
