-149 noise is an artifact of early mistakes in programming wiconfig; you
can interpret it as "0". AFAIK, the Atheros hardware does not provide
any noise figure. I don't precisely know why the signal level is 0,
but see below.

It depends what mode you run the interface in. You will probably not
get an intelligible signal level report in ad hoc mode or in AP mode.
