Oh, multiple concurrent values confused users to such an extent that this 
major change was made? ;>

Seriously, I haven't tried Gnome on FreeBSD system equipped with wireless 
NIC. I would seriously enjoy seeing multiple signal strengths across 
several channels, while using the same adapter for data. I have to analyse 
wlan coverage on my faculty at work from time to time (drawing nice 
multiple signal strength maps). My current solution is custom channel 
hopper + signal strength analyzer on iBook, interpolating between 
timestamped waypoints from floor map application and drawing the stuff 
with General Mapping Tools.
