Subject31-rc3-mmotm0716 - wonky wireless statistics..
From
Date
Dell Latitude D820 laptop, lspci reports the network card as:

0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Netwo rk Connection (rev 02)

iwlwifi driver in use, card associated via wpa_supplicant but not being
actively used

# iwconfig

Where did that -256 for "noise" come from? It ends up confusing the
gkrellm-wifi plugin, it reports a S/N of 219dB ;)
