Note:
Although the above signal strength names match those used by Microsoft's Zero Configuration Service,
the threshholds may not match. Zero Config determines its values based on the Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR) and not solely on the dB value reported from RSSI. For example, if a Wi-Fi adapter were receiving a
signal at -54 dB and had a noise level of -22 dB, the SNR would report as 32dB (-54 - -22=32), which on
the Zero Configuration scale would translate as Excellent signal strength, even though on the Novell scale,
the -54 dB signal (if reported that way through the miniport driver, possibly reported lower) would indicate a
Very Good signal strength.

It's important to note that the end-user will NEVER see the Novell signal strength thresholds, this
information is merely provided to show the difference between what the user may see through Zero Config,
and what is actually occurring behind the scenes.
