[PATCH] bcm43xx: improved statistics
This patch improves the statistics returned from bcm43xx_get_wireless_stats. The signal level comes from smoothing the "rssi" value returned by the firmware after it is converted into a dBm value by the driver. The quality value is a hack derived from the smoothed level and an assumed RX_POWER_MAX of -10 dBM. The noise value is still the one calculated from the clean-room formula. On my system, this is roughly -65 dBm, which seems too high. The revised version uses the ieee80211 spinlock to protect traversing of the network list.
