Description Eric Appleman 2011-01-29 20:39:19 UTC

I have found that iwl3945 will not offer weak signals for connection whereas
ndiswrapper with the appropriate 3945ABG driver will offer signals as weak as
1% in Wicd and Network Manager.

I figure that this isn't a proper behavior since the signals that ndiswrapper
picks up are already 10% weaker than those of iwl3945.

See launchpad entry for logs.

I'm still plan to look at that problem ...

Apparently this bug is not fixed, but I do not have time to fix it, and this is not quite important issue, closing with wantfix.
