I'm seeing lots of these types of wireless events:

2013-01-30 16:30:59.330  1.1:  sta2 (phy #0): connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold
2013-01-30 16:30:59.330  1.1:  sta4 (phy #0): connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold
2013-01-30 16:30:59.330  1.1:  sta6 (phy #0): connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold
2013-01-30 16:31:03.380  1.1:  sta3 (phy #0): connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold
2013-01-30 16:31:06.342  1.1:  sta5 (phy #0): connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold
2013-01-30 16:31:06.360  1.1:  sta7 (phy #0): connection quality monitor event: RSSI went below threshold

As far as I can tell, nothing on my system is setting the cqm (at least, it's not using 'iw' to do it).

Is there any way to dump out the current cqm RSSI value? If not, maybe it's worth adding?

Thanks,
Ben

I think now this is just a printout issue in iw, it seems the real problem is NL80211_CQM_RSSI_BEACON_LOSS_EVENT, not RSSI issue.

I'll work up a patch for iw tomorrow if upstream hasn't fixed it yet.

Would still be nice to display the current CQM settings of course...

Thanks,
Ben
