Description Ricardo Veguilla 2004-08-24 02:19:03 UTC 
Gnome-netstatus displays the "Signal Strength" by reading the "link" field from
"/proc/net/wireless", but "link" is suppossed to report signal quality, not
signal strength. The signal strength is reported in the "level" field. 
Should gnome-netstatus read the "level" instead? If thats not the case, then
maybe the "Signal Strength" is misleading and should be changed to "Signal
Quality".
