Funny, I was just wondering the same thing.  Thanks for asking the 
questions.

However....

I have three WRAPs running the PrismII wlan0 as APs, two with only and 4 
customers and one with 24 connected.  The one with 24 clients gives 
*very* strange signal and noise readings.  Anyone have an idea why?  
Otherwise it is working fine.
