I can confirm that it works quite well. No more zillions of bogus APs.

There still remains some problems with scanning stopping after a while and
lots of detected APs detected while wardriving but it is a quantum-leap in
usefulness above previous versions. Also, signal powers don't seem to be
read either.

It works really well right not for a quick site scan to identify conflicting
APs.
