   I'm afraid, that will be difficult. I could try 8.2-RELEASE and
 even 8.0-RELEASE (but I'll need to build NanoBSD images for them).
 I'm sure, that 7-STABLE gives me 3.2MiB/s regularly, but noteboks
 were changed from these times. I'll try to build 7-STABLE NanoBSD
 image, but it will need some more effort, as config files changes from
 these times :)

  It is "not accurate enough" :) Many APs, seen in my apartments,
  announce all speeds up to 54Mb :) But, of course, It is practically Ok till
  clients can connect on higher speeds.

  Ok, so 30 means 1:1 (according to dBm definition) and means "full
 power".
