Jean,

I've taken the liberty of whipping up a long-winded patch to wireless.17.h in 
an 
attempt to concretely specify what drivers need to do for quality.  I do this 
so 
that all ambiguity about signal quality will hopefully be gone, and so that 
both 
driver writers and user-application writers know their responsibilities.  
Please 
look it over and comment (diff attached).  Its a bit long, but I feel that it 
has to be to adequately explain the system.  I also feel that if its separate 
from wireless.h, people won't be bothered to go find the documentation, though 
if you feel strongly that it shouldn't be there then its fine to move it 
elsewhere.

Thanks!
Dan
