Hi, using the git-1.0rc tree I observe that scan_results returns
signal strength in a form that looks like 0-255. Is this expected?
How to convert to db or other arbitrary scale for use by a frontend?<br>
<br>
<br>
scan_results<br>
bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid<br>

Additionally, I am using an

<font face="Trebuchet MS, Arial, Sans Serif" size="3">Atheros AR5414</font>
card with recent kernel drivers. Is there any way to have the card
periodically do a background scan such that scan_results are always
reasonably fresh?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any thoughts<br>
