Same here with a Dell Truemobile 1150 card (card if working fine; iwconfig also). Depending on where the applet gets its info from; /proc/net/wireless states: Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon eth1: 0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Which could be linked to the problem
Similar problems here. In FC1 and RHL9, the applet always reports 100%, although this is not the case. Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 16 eth1: 0000 130 193 77 0 0 0 0 0 0 No matter how bad connectivity is, it always displays 100%. NetGear WG511 card, with Prism54 driver (www.prism54.org) CVS snapshot from today. Also tested older ones with RHL9, same problem.
The problem with the card not being detected is with the card's driver - it needs to report the stats in /proc/net/wireless. If the driver is part of Fedora, then log a bug against it there, otherwise you'll need to log the bug with the upstream author.
