RSSI == Received Signal Strength Indication It's an arbitrary value chosen by the card to indicate the strength of the signal. You can't compare an Atheros RSSI to the RSSI from another card. If you take the time to read the document I suggested in my previous email it details the formula you can use to convert from the Atheros RSSI to dBm. You can then compare dBm to the values you are getting from other cards. It's basically a single subtraction... Cheers -- Matt Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mob +64 21 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
