On OpenBSD iwm(4), xfce4-wavelan-plugin 0.5.12 claims to show the signal strength in "dBm", while the value is "%". It seems that the returned dimension is really dependent on the particular driver -- e.g. iwm(4) returns "%", while run(4) returns "dBm".
Right, iirc i only tested this on ral(4), i think i have an iwn(4) somewhere.. guess i'll have to find a way to figure out the unit programatically, and do some conversion. Maybe i'll have some patches to send your way :)
