Message-Id: <1386334761-25517-116-git-send-email-luis.henriques@canonical.com> Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 12:56:44 +0000 From: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@...onical.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, stable@...r.kernel.org, kernel-team@...ts.ubuntu.com Cc: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net>, "John W. Linville" <linville@...driver.com>, Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@...onical.com> Subject: [PATCH 3.11 115/272] rtlwifi: rtl8192se: Fix incorrect signal strength for unassociated AP 3.11.10.1 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net> commit b4ade797668e33b4e8353c2701ce01d7084dfafa 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. This patch fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63881. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@...inger.net> Reported-by: Matthieu Baerts <matttbe@...il.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
