I am running Linux on a Soekris board as a WAP. The wireless tools
software includes a program called iwlist. To do a "site survey" its
command is iwlist wlan0 scan, which returns something like...
snip...
Cell 03 - Address: 00:06:25:45:63:4E
Mode:Managed
Quality:246/92 Signal level:-90 dBm Noise level:-99 dBm
Cell 04 - Address: 00:06:25:11:FC:A5
Mode:Managed
Quality:0/92 Signal level:-93 dBm Noise level:-100 dBm
snip...
Most results are like cell 04, but occasionally there's one like cell
03. The man page is a bit too terse. Here come the questions...
o What do the 246 and the 92 in Quality:246/92 mean?
o What does the 0 in Quality:0/92 mean?
