Perhaps my names are bad; however, the existing system is broken. With it, passing the rssi value and the signal strength from bcm43xx-mac80211 results the following output from iwconfig: "Link Quality=216/146 Signal level=-197 dBm Noise level=-63 dBm". In bcm43xx-softmac, the code in the driver is identical and results in "Link Quality=90/100 Signal level=-36 dBm Noise level=-69 dBm". When I proposed a patch to fix mac80211, Michael Wu NACKed it and requested the name changes I propose here. I don't care what names things get, but it needs to be fixed!
