That should say

  Instead of

  interface wlan0 rxcost 276

where 276 is 256*(sqrt(1 + 42/256)).

See, I told you that rxcost is confusing.  It hooks into the link quality
algorithm at a low level, and working out what it will do depends on which
particular link quality algorithm is being used on this particular interface.

Filters, OTOH, just add a constant penalty to a metric -- easy to explain,
easy to understand.
