Ok, running the latest madwifi driver from SVN now. Doesn't seem any
different from previous versions - I'm seeing roughly the same signals
in NM as before. Is the following output from iwlist of any interest to
you?
00:17:9A:12:31:72 : Quality=49/70 Signal level=-46 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
00:14:7C:AD:39:92 : Quality=120/70 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
00:14:BF:3D:5F:ED : Quality=13/70 Signal level=-82 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
00:18:4D:05:20:D0 : Quality=4/70 Signal level=-91 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
00:16:E3:58:B0:C8 : Quality=3/70 Signal level=-92 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
00:0F:3D:B3:F0:68 : Quality=10/70 Signal level=-85 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
Incidentally, I don't suppose you could point me to the patch for NM you
referred to in your email?
Simon.
