	I never checked carefully those figures. Maybe the firware is
doing strange things on us. Or maybe we have a wrong formula to
convert to dBm.
	If I were you, I would ask Lucent/Agere for the final word on
this. You may also investigate this with David and Pavel.

	When I tried, it was working. Again a driver problem, please
debug it and check with Javier.

	Eject the card and re-insert it while running iwevent, and
you'll see.
