[PATCH] wireless/airo: WEXT and quality corrections
This patch brings the airo driver into line with the current WEXT specification of signal quality. It also fixes the values used to determine signal quality and level for MPI & PCMCIA 350 cards. It turns out that BSSListRid.rssi was actually in dBm for 350 series cards, and that we can use the normalized signal strength reported by the card as our "quality" value, on a scale of 0 - 100. Since signal level values are in dBm for this driver, max_qual->level MUST be 0, as specified in the WEXT spec. This patch also uses the IW_QUAL constants new in WEXT version 17.
