Hi,
Has anyone here tried sniffing their own network
passively (promiscous mode)? In the Linux OS, using a
Cisco 350 card and set to promiscous mode, I tried to
measure my own network signal strength. My readings
are based on:

(1) /proc/net/wireless - shows the strongest signal
strength available

(2) /proc/driver/aironet/eth1/BSSList - shows the
entire network with rssi.. the smaller the rssi, the
stronger the signal

which of the 2 methods is more accurate?

thanks

regards
WCY
