Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Forwarding from Novell bugzilla, http://bugzilla.novell.com/463370 (and I don't actually know what it is about). Quoting: I found that wavemon was reporting the wrong value for dBm values when IW_QUAL_DBM is set by the driver. See SuSE Bug 463032. The same problem is visible in the KDE4 (and KDE3 - see Bug 463369) performance monitor (ksysguard). The metric localhost->Network->Interfaces->eth1->wifi->signal and noise are in dBm but are in the range of -350. This value should be 0x100 higher.
Created attachment 75303 [details] Proposed patch for ksysguard/ksysguardd/Linux/netdev.c This patch add a condition on the value (signal level and noise level): - if the value is >= 64, the value is considered as a old type value and we subtract 0x100 as done before. - if this value is < 64, the value is considered as a dBm value and no operation are done. 64 is used as in iwlib.c in wireless_tools (version 29) in function iw_print_stats at line 1436 This way, possible dBm values are between -192 dBm and 63 dBm
I don't have an WLAN adapter connected. Can someone confirm if this still is an issue?
