How does Windows XP convert the RSSI that 802.11 NIC reports to signal
strength bars?

Thanks,
Shawn

Shawn,

It uses a lookup table to convert RSSI values to db bars; I don't have the
exact table handy. What are you trying to accomplish or is there a problem
you're trying to resolve?

I was wondering if the "table" is constant for all 802.11 NICs.
