Hello!

I'm having no luck finding where sensitivity is set in net/mac80211. Anyone know something to grep for?

Thanks,
Ben

I am not sure mac80211 deal with sensitivity if it's what you referring (at least not I am aware of).

in iwlwifi, driver and uCode take care of sensitivity calibration.

I'm messing with ath9k mostly. Just trying to probe some values for reporting as of now. In the old days, seems you could set the sensitivity for madwifi though..could help in some cases...

Thanks,

It doesn't make sense to try to add a single 'sensitivity' knob. There are many different radio parameters that are related to that, some calibrated, some configured - madwifi never had anything useful for that either.

Ok, thanks.

If you happen to know some of the related tunables, I'd like to take a look at them, at least.

Thanks,
Ben
