The noise value will be missed.  It's useful to see the signal to noise
ratio.  I have little trust to the absolute noise values, but I know
that the connection is bad if signal is just 3 dBm above the noise
measured by the same card with the same antenna on the same channel. 

Maybe it would be better to remove per-packet noise only when the "next
generation noise" is implemented?  It could be a batch of patches.
