12.04 Signal-Level Dispcrepancy between iwconfig and "iwlist scan"
The last two days I've been checking the signal level received by my 12.04's wireless-n adapter. I am amazed to find that there is such a big difference between the numbers reported by iwconfig and iwlist scan, whereas my 11.04 system's corresponding reported numbers are consistent.

Ubuntu 12.04 Data:
iwconfig: ..... Freq= 2.437 GHZ ..... Signal Level= 28/100, 42/100, 28/100, . . .
iwlist scan: ..... Freq= 2.437 GHZ (Channel 6) ..... Signal Level= 44/100 (steady reading)
Ubuntu 11.04 Data:
iwconfig: ..... Freq= 2.437 GHZ ..... Signal Level= -66 dBm (steady reading)
iwlist scan: ..... Freq= 2.437 GHZ (Channel 6) ..... Signal Level= -66 dBm (steady redaing)
I wish Ubuntu would add the channel number to iwconfig in the future even though one can deduce the channel number from the frequency figure.
