Perfect! Graphical and console. It seems to have a few problems, though. Not sure if it's wavemon or where it's getting the data. On one card (Airo 352) it reports: xfrequency: 2.4420 GHz, sensitivity: 0/65535, TX power: -32768 dBm (100.00 mW) Looks like the power dBm number overflowed. On another card (SMC - Zcomax XI-325H 200mW) frequency: 2.4620 GHz, sensitivity: 1/3, TX power: n/a well, iwlist wlan0 txpower doesn't show it either -- I guess 200mw is out of range. Now, I need to research what these numbers mean... ;) I assume you can't compare across cards since the card must do the reporting.
