Yes, I probably should have mentioned this in the article. The signal strength as reported by this driver is clearly not correct. Mine varies mostly between 3% and 12% yet I get full and uninterrupted transfer rate at all times. I did actually mention this originally on the launchpad bug report, but since this code comes from the mainline kernel now, probably you'd need to report it upstream to get it fixed if it hasn't been addressed already.
