How bad. But no big deal since I use mainly atheros and senao (prism) cards.

Is this paper's information accurate regarding atheros?

Say, RSSI = 23 is -72dbm?

Take a look here:

Especially at the top of page 5. RSSI isn't defined to be in particular
units, so the formula will be different for each piece of radio hardware
you have. Unless you have a way of calibrating your specific interface
then you probably cant do it in any meaningful way.
