Hi,

I don't /think/ the CSI dump provides vectors establishing which
stream(s) appear on which antennas (ie, for stream TX 0, the
per-RX-antenna information.) It's just a magnitude value.

(I'm about to go pull down this stuff and look at it in more detail
because I just got Osprey location service stuff going in
linux/freebsd and the last bit is the CSI information..> :-)
