Seems to me that the RSSI-in-FPGA stuff was not really fully baked,
unless I'm mistaken, the RSSI
function isn't used by any higher-level functions in the USRP2/N2XXX
implementations.

I always compute the signal strength at the final channel bandwidth, in
software, whereas the RSSI in
the FPGA code seems to be running at the raw ADC bandwidth--which can
produce wildly
different RSSI estimates than an estimate produced from your final
channel bandwidth.
