Bug Description

Hi,
in feisty has worked normally, in gutsy the icon shows no signal and also in the property dialog the signal meter is empty.
Network-manager instead works fine, the signal strenght is always 70%-72%.
iwconfig output is:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"xxxxxx"
          Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B
          Link Signal level=-71 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Same here, rt2x00 driver, Ubuntu Gutsy. The driver seems to not report link quality properly (always 0), but only the signal level in dBm, which is obviously not used by gnome-netstatus.

/proc/dev/wireless reads:

Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE
 face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22
   ra0: 0000 0 -67. -256 0 0 0 0 0 0
