Detecting noise levels with CB21AG-A-K9

[kevin.willey]

All,

Just purchased a CB21AG-A-K9. Downloaded the latest drivers from the web site. But, when using both the Cisco Site Survey Utility as well as Netstumbler, I am not getting noise levels reported. Nothing in the documentation seems to indicate that this card doesn't support RFMON mode, so why no noise levels reported?

PC host is running WinXP Pro SP2.

Thanks!

Kevin

Noise Level field appears only if you selected signal strength to be displayed in dBm.

See the Signal Strength Display Units parameter in Table 7-2 for information.

Thanks for the reply. But saw that in the manual and already tried it. I see no noise levels even when "display in dBm" is selected.
