I depends on which version of bcm43xx you are running. The original driver that 
was in use before the driver went into the kernel used the noise level to 
calculate the quality on a scale of 1 to 3 - not very instructive. I rewrote 
that section to get the quality from the rssi, as a percentage of the maximum 
value of the rssi, which was obtained by putting my interface about 4 inches 
from the AP.

Relative changes in the signal (and the quality by inference) are important. 
The 
absolute value has no real meaning.

Why do you ask?
