Description

Umbrella for the firmware-and-driver toolchain that exposes per-subcarrier CSI from a commodity Wi-Fi NIC. The four canonical stacks are the Linux 802.11n CSI Tool (intel-5300), the Atheros CSI Tool (atheros-csi-tool), nexmon_csi (nexmon-csi), and picoscenes. This entry exists to canonicalise the generic phrase when a paper writes "we used a CSI extractor" without naming the chip.
