Well, it's documented in iw to be 'mBm', though I surely wouldn't have known
what that stood for (nothing useful shows up on google for 'mBm units').
Suck. I don't even know why we did that in iw though, couldn't we have
used dBm floats?
Looks like this iw change has been out there a while.
Maybe change iw:
* If value is < 100, assume it's dBm and convert for user.
* Warn them?
* If it's a float, convert to dBm for user.
Otherwise, leave it as is.
For what it's worth, 'iwconfig' works as is (using dBm units).
Thanks,
