Thanks! that was very fast.

It seems to work fine. My card seems to only report signal
level and not
link quality or noise. Still, it's better than what I had
yesterday and
I believe that it will report whatever is available to
report for any
802.11 device. My Atheros seems to only provide signal
quality.

Thank again! I suggest sending to Sjoerd to get it into the
plugin.

My patch is intended to show the S:N and INT fields of
`ifconfig list
scan'.  Are you mean your ifconfig doesn't show S:N
correctly?
