I use this tool bc it is a real simple ncurses app running in real time
displaying a bunch of iw* info (and it is real easy to screen capture
the state at any given moment). I suggest it if it will work with your
card (when and if it gets up and working) and bc I know you are not
allergic to ncurses apps ;^) (oh how I wish this baby was a nice Tcl/Tk
app but an extra terminal session works just fine).

I always like to have a new tool to play with :-) , but I don't see
anything :-( on an interface that is not connected .. maybe this only
monitors an interface that is fully "up" --eg, connected (hmmm, is
"associated" the right term here?)?
OWAM ["Oh-wait-a-minute"], I just fount the -r startup option. That
makes pretty pictures, but do you have any suggestions on what these
plots mean (other than the plotter-display is working)?

I am not running it right now but doesn't it
give real time numbers to go with those pics?
Also I think you always have to look at the
interpretation of wireless signal as a bit of an
art where either high or low signal quality
varies across high or low signal strength,
antenna orientation, etc, etc. What I like about
this tool is it gives the relative performance
of the particular 802.11(x) you are using so you
can track its idiosyncrasies and learn how to
work with the card in any given environment.
