The changed value of MRVDRV_NF_DEFAULT_SCAN_VALUE is only used to 
magically conjure the missing noise value for scan results, see 
my other mail about this.

Okay, it's also used in the case of a failed GET_RSSI command :-)

Something might have been available for scan reporting, but if 
this "something" made sense is a different question. See my 
other mail :-)

I didn't see such a table so far, where is it?
