From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031014 Description of problem: I have a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop running Fedora Core. Since the built in wireless adapter doesn't work I picked up a Belkin card. Since it is based on the Atmel chipset I had to grab the driver from sourceforge and install it. So far so good (minor bad interaction with X, but I can work around that). Anyway I installed the wireless link monitor in the panel and it correctly detects if the card is/isn't in the PCMCIA slot, however the link percentage is always displayed as 82%. cat'ing /proc/net/wireless shows the signal strength varies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.4.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add wireless link monitor to the panel 2. Move the laptop around 3. Actual Results: no change in indicated signal strength Expected Results: it should have changed Additional info: I sure hope this isn't something brain dead I am doing :)
Bug produces exactly the same symptoms on my Compaq Presario 904EA laptop with Belkin F5D6020U card running RH9.
Seems to be reading link quality number now. This is almost always 100% for me. I'm marking it is resolved for now. I am running FC2.
