possible with this setup?
What capture type is enabled for your adapter? If it's "802.11 Only", then you
won't see any RSSI values. In order to capture and display RSSI you have to have
"802.11 + PPI" or "802.11 + Radio" selected in the "Capture Type:" drop-down in
the advanced wireless settings in Wireshark or in the AirPcap control panel.
Once the capture type is set, the RSSI will be shown in the PPI or Radiotap tree
in the protocol detail. You can also add an RSSI column by doing the following:
Select "Preferences->Columns"
Click "New"
Enter "RSSI" (or whatever you'd like) in the "Title:" entry
Select "IEEE 802.11 RSSI" in the unfortunately-non-alphabetized "Format" entry
Click "Up" or "Down" to set the column's position.
Click "OK" or "Apply"
