At least first one works. :)

2[m] form AP - 
Link Quality=98/100  SL=-25 dBm  NL=-73 dBm

10[m] form AP - 
Link Quality=45/100  SL=-70 dBm  NL=-73 dBm
pcmia atheros shows here  SL=-70 NL=-95


15[m] form AP - (seems be on edge of range)
Link Quality=35/100  SL=-78 dBm  NL=-73 dBm
pcmia atheros shows here  SL=-86 NL=-95, works fine though on 5Mbps

Is it strange to have lower signal level than noise level ?
Does current version uses only 11MBps with 4318 ?
What is interpretation of link quality ? (in atheros it seems to be difference 
between signal and noise levels)
