This part is most likely due to the madwifi drivers, which don't report signal strength the same way as most other drivers. I've got the same problem - NM is currently reporting 15%, even though I'm only 5 or 6 metres from the access point. Oddly, I've got several much more distant access points with > 100% signal reported, which seems more than a little dubious. Anyway, I occasionally have problems with it continuously losing the connection, but things mostly work fine despite the supposedly poor signal. Fiddling with the antenna sometimes helps, not sure why, since it makes little difference to reported signal... Simon.
