It's not clear *how* the firmware uses the RSSI for its rate adaptation,
so I cannot say for sure, but it looks to me like the RSSI may be
averaged over many stations when there is a base station.

For the firmware to use the average RSSI, as computed, for its rate
adaptation is probably unhelpful/counterproductive in an adhoc network
(IBSS mode).
