I had read both before. That's where I learned the %*60 conversion. What I want to make sure is, what's the unit of RSSI values reported by click or madwifi driver. Highest value I get is 40+ (two nodes close to each other), so I guess it may not be the %. When I use Airopeek, it gives both % and dBm values. But I'm not sure about click and madwifi.
