If you don't care what names things get, then my patch which swaps signal and 
rssi assignment in bcm43xx-mac80211 is fine. If you don't like that, then you 
do care.

I think "level" isn't very intuitive for a number that's either RSSI or dBm, 
however. I recommended "signal" instead which seems to better suggest a 
measure of signal strength/level, at least until we come up with a better 
statistics reporting system in cfg80211.
