Hi,

Does anyone know what the units are for the an driver's noise level
information?  Is it, for example, a dBm value that can be compared to
the signal value to get a signal-to-noise ratio?

The ancontrol tool prints the noise value as a percentage, which is
just the value it gets from the an_avg_noise_prev_min field of the
status struct (average noise over the last minute?).

A second question: is anyone working on making this sort ofinformation
uniform across different cards, like the other 802.11 stuff?

thanks,

d
