Re: more CVS 2-2 NMApplet

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

NetworkManagerDevice.c has two calls to nm_wireless_qual_to_percent, one 
in the function nm_device_update_signal_strength and one in 
nm_device_wireless_process_scan_results.
I have put two syslog prints in nm_device_update_signal_strength, one 
right after the call to nm_wireless_qual_to_percent and one right after
dev->options.wireless.strength = percent;

Both of these print are producing the same numbers as iwconfig produces 
for link quality.
I have put a syslog print in nm_device_wireless_process_scan_results 
right after the call to nm_wireless_qual_to_percent. This print always 
produce the value 0. I can't understand this. Beginning with 
ipw2200-0.21 scan stats are being reported by ipw2200. I am currently 
running ipw2200-1.0.0. I reinstalled ipw2200-0.21 but this made no 
change in the results. Here are the syslog prints.
