Hello,

I got around to looking at the WiFiMonitor code again and compared it to
the way the gnome wireless applet does it's thing...after some impromptu
math lessons on IRC it was pointed out to me that link quality is
actually a measurement of decible and therefore requires the log function
to adequately define it...so after reading up on that and searching
perldoc.com I arrived at a slight change in how to go about figuring the
link quality.  It's a rather simple fix

I changed this line:
$self->{label}->set_text(sprintf('%d%%', ($signal / 92) *
100));

to this:
$self->{label}->set_text(sprintf('%d%%', log(($signal) / log(92)) *
100));

It does make a difference when the link quality is neither 0 nor 92.

If it would make more sense to submit a patch or a complete .pm LMK I'll
fire it out.

Thanks 

Nathan
