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?
