Hi,

I am interested in getting the signal strength (and
noise) of the Access Point to which I had associated.

I had heard that the ethereal is capable of retrieving
the signal strength from the 802.11 Packets. I am
using Cisco Aironet Client Adapter in my linux box to
capture the 802.11 packets.  I am able to capture the
packet.. But I don not see the "Radio Header" or some
signal specific parameters.  How can I capture the
radio header using ethereal?? Is Anybody tried  before
and succeed .. Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
mohan
