Totally agree. NM should expose alot more of these sophisticated network

it's probably driver specific, but i would be happy to have an answer
for a specific example (eg, ipw2200). for my card and driver, the x in
iwconfig's Link Quality seems to be just Noise Level - Signal Level.

i guess you know best, but: how come iwconfig says "Link Quality=30/94"
and changing according to distance etc from AP, but NM applet says
"Wireless network connection (75%)" when 30/94*100 is 32???

that NM sometimes takes the signal strength
form the wrong AP (in the situation i described, with AP's with the same
essid)? and what about the change in signal strengths?
