I apologize for not making myself more clear...While performing frame capture on tcpdump it returns the signal level that each frame was intercepted at. So, if I ping a host on my LAN, tcpdump receives two frames per ping sent. One directly from the pinged host, and the other from the AP which has rebroadcast the ping since it is acting as a wireless hub. The measurement from the AP is different from that of the host since the host is much closer. So, somehow, tcpdump is able to read the signal levels of frames intercepted by other hosts on my LAN, not just the signal level to my AP. Ifconfig and Net::Interface do not seem to grant me access to those frame by frame stats. I would like to use perl to collect the signal levels of other hosts on my LAN in a similar manner to how tcpdump does it.


Thanks
