  You've forgot link or attache?

    I'm looking at:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm

  And according to this table my "30" is 1W, which is not believable
(too high). Datasheet says "21.5dBm at 54Mbit", which means ~140mW,
which is in contradiction with "600mW" from same datasheet (or 400mW,
according to other, as I'm not sure about exact version of my card --
it has protection shield from one version and additional power header
from other).

  And "15" for iwn card is 32mW, which is not believable (too
low).

  9dBm or 10dBm in my case, oh my. So, result is ~30+10 = 40dBm = 10W?! I don't
 understand something here!
