What is new in nstreme revision 8?
The features chart shows support for Cisco Aironet interfaces, but the actual packages does not recognize such cards. (I have tested with both PCI cards and LMC cards)

My problem is not that Cisco Aironet interfaces do not support nstreme (I really don't care, because these are legacy links anyway), but that when the nstreme package is loaded (any version so far), only Atheros and Prism interfaces are recognized.Please re-read feature chart. It shows _no N-streme support_ for Cisco Aironet interfaces.
N-streme is compatible _only_ with Atheros-based cards.
The underlying OS apparently recognizes these interfaces (/system resource pci, io, irq)

Nstreme revision 9 is on the download site.
It has a fix for dual Nstreme when it could disconnect and not reconnect.
Also, you can see our new CCQ (client connection quality) number for each client (tx to client and tx from client). This gives a real number from 1-100 that tells how efficiently the client is connected. The formula uses rates, network access overhead, retries, packet/frame size and other measurables to calculate how efficiently each connection is operating.
For 802.11, this can give you idea of whether you need to re-align you antenna, change your cable -- general quality of the link. Of course for links that are on the edge of the distance calc and links that are in locations with high interference, the number will not look so good and should be used as to compare with other links in similar situations.
For Nstreme, CCQ will provide the basis for dynamic decisions on internal Nstreme variables to optimize the link speed.
