We don't have calibration code yet, so connection can be less stable/slower. Unfortunately I won't start working on it for some time as there are different issues I want to address first. As for info about signal, it's possible we incorrectly parse headers coming from firmware. I've to check this issue with my hardware, then I'll be able to say sth more. > However, monitor mode and injection work great on B43. Scanning/init > also seems to be much faster using B43.
