Noise level

Background noise level (when no packet is transmitted). Similar comments as for Signal level.

Rx invalid nwid

Number of packets received with a different NWID or ESSID. Used to detect configuration,

problems or adjacent network existence (on the same frequency).

Rx invalid crypt

Number of packets that the hardware was not able to decrypt. This can be used to detect

invalid encryption settings.

Rx invalid frag

Number of packets for which the hardware was not able to properly re-assemble the link layer

fragments (most likely one was missing).

Tx excessive retries

Number of packets that the hardware failed to deliver. Most MAC protocols will retry the

packet a number of times before giving up.

Invalid misc

Other packets lost in relation with specific wireless operations.

Missed beacon

Number of periodic beacons from the Cell or the Access Point we have missed. Beacons are

sent at regular intervals to maintain the cell coordination; failure to receive them usually

indicates that the card is out of range.
