Wifimgr parses the output of "ifconfig -v wlanN list scan" in order to compute the number of bars to display for the signal strength. With the iwm driver, I see s/n values like -49:-96 for my network. But with the iwlwifi driver, the values for the same network are -121:-96 . This large negative value for the signal strength is causing wifimgr to compute the number of bars as 0. Bjørn, is this something else to look at in the iwlwifi driver? -jrhelp
