Comment 5 for bug 66481

Hi!

I can confirm both problems listed above.

Hardware (Thinkpad T42):
Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

The problems are:

[1] - actual strength
Having the issue [2] as described below I am also sure that the strength of the link is deteriorated in Edgy. Sometimes I get 2% signal or something similar on a pretty stable AP, which never happened in Dapper, and which is back to normal after reboot. Sure enough, because of this I am often disconnected, and sometimes it is impossible to reconnect until reboot.

[2] - reporting
As in the comment above I have observed that the signal strength is reported differently in Edgy. I have been using an AP for some time now and I used to get 46-50% in Dapper. In Edgy I get exactly *half* of that, i.e. 23-25%. So there is definitely a problem with the reporting.

Ready to roll any experiment on my side if needed.
