From 86107fd170bc379869250eb7e1bd393a3a70e8ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruno Randolf Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 10:58:48 +0900 Subject: nl80211/mac80211: Report signal average Extend nl80211 to report an exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) of the signal value. Since the signal value usually fluctuates between different packets, an average can be more useful than the value of the last packet. This uses the recently added generic EWMA library function.
