Do you use "wifimgr" which is a GUI tool to select AP.
When I use "if_iwlfiwi.ko", wave strength displayed
in wifimgr is 0 for all access point.
Do you see this phenomenon? Or, does someone see this?

Best,

I'll have to leave the wifimge to others.

Wifimgr parses the output of "ifconfig -v wlanN list scan" in order to
compute the number of bars to display for the signal strength.

With the iwm driver, I see s/n values like -49:-96 for my network.
But with the iwlwifi driver, the values for the same network are -121:-96 .

This large negative value for the signal strength is causing wifimgr
to compute the number of bars as 0.

Bjørn, is this something else to look at in the iwlwifi driver?

It's in the LinuxKPI 802.11 compat part.  I have XXX next to that and
on my TODO list now.

Lots of health,
Bjoern
