Mhh, i may have mixed signal strength/SIOCG80211TXPOWER, and rate/RSSI in my
patch (patch-panel-plugin_wi_bsd_c)... i'm not used to wireless keywords :)
I'll have a look at it and try to poke upstream to merge the correct
changes..
I'm not very familiar with wireless either, but the 80211TXPOWER is
the 100dBm shown, while the 20dB is the RSSI (I thought). Could
anybody explain to me why it is incorrect to show 20% given the output
Lars has provided?
