Linville" <linville@...driver.com>, Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.5 46/90] rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Fix incorrect signal strength for unassociated AP 3.5.7.27 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net> commit 3545f3d5f4af715c914394123ce7725a9cf0a1c4 upstream. The routine that processes received frames was returning the RSSI value for the signal strength; however, that value is available only for associated APs. As a result, the strength was the absurd value of 10 dBm. As a result, scans return incorrect values for the strength, which causes unwanted attempts to roam.
