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.

Bj=C3=B8rn, is this something else to look at in the iwlwifi driver?
