Screen capture of Dell's wireless monitoring screen

Hello,

Description of problem:

wifi-radar wrongly identifies 802.11n networks as 802.11g, even if both the acces point and the client wireless card are truly 802.11n.

I've tested this on an Asus EeePC 1000H running stock Fedora 14.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wifi-radar-2.0.s08-1.fc14.noarch


How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install stock Fedora 14 on a machine containing a true 802.11n wireless card.
2. Install wifi-radar from official repositories
3. Have around an active 802.11n wireless access point (150 Mbps or 300 Mbps).
  

Actual results:
wifi-radar identifies the wireless network as 802.11g

Expected results:
wifi-radar should identify the wireless network correctly, as 802.11n. Eventually, it should indicate the maximum speed/flavour of the N network (150 or 300 Mbps).


Additional info:
For their laptops, Dell has a standard Windows software that offers a nice screen for wireless monitoring (please see attached image). May I respectfully suggest this monitoring utility as a visual model (orientative...) for wifi-radar ?

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Unfortunately this is not supported by upstream. I will contact them and see if this can be fixed as this is a useful tool.
