Hi,
sorry for the spam. This is an update to the wifiprobe script. For
some reason the ath0 scan output differs from the ipw0, iwi0, iwn0
etc... ath0 gives the signal strength in % (of what?), whilst iwi0,
ipw0, iwn0 specifies the units (dB)
In any case, this is the update to the script:

I hope you find it useful
