Added wifi sensor to display signal strength in dbm. It reports -302dbm, when it should be -46dbm looks like kde-workspace/ksysguard/ksysguardd/Linux/netdev.c processNetDev_ line 250 offsets signal by -256dbm... 250>> signalLevel -= 256; /*the units are dBm*/ this is coincidentally the amount of error -46dbm (actual via cat) - 256 => -302 dbm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
The feature to add Network/Interfaces/wlan0/wifi/signal no longer exists in my current version. System Monitor, Version 5.12.6 That is one way to get rid of the bug...not sure what status to put it into, now. The value is available in /proc/net/wireless shows level as -45dbm jchufar@linux-jlo2:~> cat /proc/net/wireless Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22 wlan0: 0000 65. -45. -256 0 0 0 1 373 0
