Hi all,

I'm trying to get an accurate idea of what signal strength
is being received by a laptop in monitor mode, listening
to packets being sent out by another laptop.   With a 
big change in distance, the SSI value changes, and with
a change in transmission power, the SSI changes just 
slightly.

How exactly is the SSI value calculated and what sort of
"unit" is it?  I've heard of RSSI values being unitless in the
past, not sure if this is the same thing or not.

Thanks!
