Perfect! Graphical and console.
It seems to have a few problems, though. Not sure if it's wavemon or
where it's getting the data. On one card (Airo 352) it reports:
xfrequency: 2.4420 GHz, sensitivity: 0/65535, TX power: -32768 dBm (100.00 mW)
Looks like the power dBm number overflowed.
On another card (SMC - Zcomax XI-325H 200mW)
frequency: 2.4620 GHz, sensitivity: 1/3, TX power: n/a
well, iwlist wlan0 txpower doesn't show it either -- I guess 200mw is
out of range.
Now, I need to research what these numbers mean... ;) I assume you
can't compare across cards since the card must do the reporting.
The SMC card:
