I have two different wireless network cards, a Cisco Aironet 350 (AIR-LMC352),
and the Centrino (ipw2100) built into my current Laptop.
When looking at the received signal strength that is reported, I came across the
following: Using
Code:
iwconfig <interface>
shows a signal strength in dBm that is nearly identical for the Centrino and the
Aironet client adapter. Looking at the reported signal strength with
Code:
cat /proc/net/wireless
results in a three digit number ranging between 0 and 254, depending on the
received signal strength (those numbers are different for the two client adapters).
Where can I find the information about the factor that is used for the digit/dBm
conversion?
Thanks, Ingo.
