checked out the CVS. sorry to report that: a few restarts of NM produced 2 bars, 43%, and 39%, while everything else says ~80%... the applet seems not to change the %, ever... unless i restart NM, so it seems. i guess it's fair to say that it shows the signal quality correctly "most of the time" ;-) also, locking the card to a certain AP, staying connected etc, does not change the % either...
