The on-board Broadcom Wi-Fi (with external antenna) is far superior to
crappy dongles, of which I have a couple myself.

Cell 01, 70/70, is the wireless router in the same room, a few feet
away.
Cell 03, 37/70, is the wireless router in my front room, 25-30 feet
away, and straight-line through 4 walls. (Touch, sat next to WB, can't
"see" this router).


Code:
--------------------
    
  $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning
  wlan0     Scan completed :
  
  Cell 01 - Address: 00:0E:2E:92:25:E2
  Channel:1
  Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1)
  Quality=70/70  Signal level=-25 dBm  
  
  Cell 03 - Address: 00:16:36:CB:70:33
  Channel:6
  Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
  Quality=37/70  Signal level=-73 dBm
