Re: Entropy source based on the RSSI

[Alexandre Augusto <alexandre.a.giron@gmail.com>]

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your email Marcel, apologies for that.
But yes, I have a sketch for this as a kernel driver (but still non
functional).
Nevertheless, in my repo there is a proof-of-concept version that I
used in the experiments presented in the video.

Thanks for the feedback.
