wext stats in dbm

Hi,

wireless_ext 19 defines a new flag IW_QUAL_DBM for wstats --
as our
stats are measured in dbm this patch sets it.
This lets iwconfig & /proc/net/wireless display more
sensible results.

with this patch /proc/net/wireless shows

level -58 noise -95 


Cheers

Richard

Cool, thanks for the patch!  It's applied.  

I'll be releasing 0.2.7 once I get the pending patches
sorted out.
