Hi Pavel , Thanks very much for your reply. Right now the only thing I care is the RSSI, which is included in prism header, but is only a suggested field in radiotap header. From http://www.radiotap.org/suggested-fields/RSSI I know that the RSSI field is only implemented by OpenBSD system. As there is an "Antenna signal" field in radiotap header, do you know whether it is the same with RSSI field. If they are the same thing, why would OpenBSD use both of them? Thanks.
