Airodump-ng has stopped showing signal strength

Hello fellas.
So, I updated BT5 to BT5 r1 and now airodump-ng stopped showing signal strength using zd1211rw chipset wifi adapter, rtl8187 works fine.

rtl8187 is wlan0 is mon0
zd1211rw is wlan1 is mon0

#: airmon-ng start wlan0

Code:

Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 Realtek RTL8187L rtl8187 - [phy0] (monitor mode enabled on mon0) wlan1 Zydas zd1211b zd1211rw - [phy1]

#: airmon-ng start wlan1

Code:

Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 Realtek RTL8187L rtl8187 - [phy0] wlan1 Zydas zd1211b zd1211rw - [phy1] (monitor mode enabled on mon1) mon0 Realtek RTL8187L rtl8187 - [phy0]

Now, let's scan some APs

#: airodump-ng mon0

Code:

CH 10 ][ Elapsed: 4 s ][ 2011-10-10 06:26 BSSID PWR Beacons #Data, #/s CH MB ENC CIPHER AUTH ESSID 00:[CENSORED] -36 8 0 0 10 54e WPA2 CCMP PSK censored 40:[CENSORED] -55 9 15 0 2 54e WPA2 CCMP PSK censored 00:[CENSORED] -61 10 0 0 3 54e. WPA2 CCMP PSK censored BSSID STATION PWR Rate Lost Packets Probes 40:[CENSORED] 00:[CENSORED] -1 54e- 0 0 15

-36% is 100% - 36% = 64% signal strength

Now, let's use zd1211 adapter

#: airodump-ng mon1

Code:

CH 1 ][ Elapsed: 4 s ][ 2011-10-10 06:28 BSSID PWR Beacons #Data, #/s CH MB ENC CIPHER AUTH ESSID 00:[CENSORED] 0 11 0 0 10 54e WPA2 CCMP PSK [CENSORED] 00:[CENSORED] 0 12 0 0 3 54e. WPA2 CCMP PSK [CENSORED] 40:[CENSORED] 0 10 0 0 2 54e WPA2 CCMP PSK [CENSORED] BSSID STATION PWR Rate Lost Packets Probes

Zero, zero, zero.

I really need to zd1211 work, becouse it's my main adapter and it has antenna, so it works better than rtl8187.
How to fix it?
Also, how do I change the way he's showing signal strength, from -36% to 64%?

I've tried to download zd1211 driver and install it manually, doesn't help. In fact, drivers were the same, byte to byte.

Who's not doing he's job, is it aircrack-ng fail?

Wow, it takes a lot of time to make && make install it
Done, still zero, zero, zero.

Hy,
I'm not shore if madwifi drivers have support for your chipset, so you may try to browse for madwifi's website and if it does and download.
as far as I know madwifi is best for ath9, ath5 and some other integrated cards.

u may also check your vendor's webpage, maybe they got something new.
or reinstall backtrack to version 5 or 4.
good luck.
