  66  * move less and less towards newly added values this results
  67  * that with link tuning, the device can have a very good RSSI
  68  * for a few minutes but when the device is moved away from the AP
  69  * the average will not decrease fast enough to compensate.
  70  * The walking average compensates this and will move towards
  71  * the new values correctly allowing a effective link tuning,
  72  * the speed of the average moving towards other values depends
  73  * on the value for the number of samples. The higher the number
  74  * of samples, the slower the average will move.
  75  * We use two variables to keep track of the average value to
  76  * compensate for the rounding errors. This can be a significant
  77  * error (>5dBm) if the factor is too low.
