Apparently the orinoco driver doesn't expose the Signal Strength value in
the way NetworkManager considers as correct. I found a discussion on this in
Novell's bugzilla (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141029)
where Robert Love gave the following explanation on why the signal strength
of orinoco doesn't change in NetworkManager:
«In other words, we have two values here. Both a device-wide and a
per-network value. A few drivers are broken and do not compute the
per-network value.
This is what the user is seeing here. The iwconfig value is the per-device
setting and his driver displays this. The nm-tool value is the per-network
and his device does not.
I don't think there is a bug here, actually, except that this driver needs
to be fixed. All of the places that the user is seeing zero are
per-network.»
So, do you orinoco maintainers agree there an issue here?
