Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 I have new data about this problem.

 When I use my Netgear WG511T to link to my AP and I write "iwconfig ath0",
 I get this values:

 ath0      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"MyESSID"  Nickname:"my_name"
           Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.422GHz  Access Point:
 00:11:22:33:44:55
           Bit Rate:54Mb/s   Tx-Power:18 dBm   Sensitivity=0/3
           Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
           Power Management:off
           Link Quality:65/94  Signal level:-30 dBm  Noise level:-95 dBm
           Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
           Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

 But, when I destroy all non-monitor VAPs and start kismet, and I write
 "iwconfig kis", I get this values:

 kis       IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:""
           Mode:Monitor  Frequency:2.422GHz  Access Point:
 00:11:22:33:44:55
           Bit Rate:0kb/s   Tx-Power:18 dBm   Sensitivity=0/3
           Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
           Encryption key:off
           Power Management:off
           Link Quality:0/94  Signal level:-95 dBm  Noise level:-95 dBm
           Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
           Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

 Look at "Signal level" in both cases. With "kis" interface "Signal level"
 and "Noise level" are the same !!.
