more NMApplet CVS-2-2



Using CVS 2-2, NMApplet hover messages show signal quality same as iwconfig but the strength bar is empty. I put syslog messages in the functions nm_wireless_qual_to_percent and nm_device_update_signal_strength. See below for the output. If I hardwire
percent=85;

in nm_wireless_qual_to_percent, then both the hover message and the bar show 85% so the problem must be the 0's that are sometimes returned by nm_wireless_qual_to_percent. I tried the new ipw2200-1.0.0 driver and an older one ipw2200-0.19 and got the same result so I am leaning away from blaming this on the driver since earlier versions of ipw2200-0.19 and NM did show a nonempty signal bar.
