airedump-ng questions
i have 3945 wirless card using BT4.
1. when running airedump-ng it will give negative power numbers like -84 or -17 why?
2. when running aireplay-ng -3 option sometimes the result is just one line showing 0 for arp and 0 pps or the result will be too much lines coming with incrementing values in the shell why?
1. more info?
2. that's normal when it's replay-ing.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
this thread showed only -1 which suggest that the driver isn't reporting the correct pwr. but not mentioned when the numbers else than this
Airodump-ng shows neg PWR all the time for my HWUG1. It hasn't ever really effected my wireless attacks so I just ignored it. I just figured it was an issue with the driver. The lower the number the better, in my case anyway.
I also have some cards that show positive numbers, again I just assume this is driver related and it seems to have no effect on my ability to use the card.
Are you experiencing any issues (other than the display)?

I think theprez98 answered this in the very last post in the thread you are referring to.
As long as the readings are consistent, I think you just work with what you got.Power levels are entirely dependent upon the card, the driver, and/or the firmware. Also, there is no "standard" among manufacturers so numbers are not comparable.
If you are still concerned about this, maybe the aircrack-ng forums would have some more information? Or you could ask their developers. I know they read and answer forum posts.
