Which "value"? I believe these return a number of different values. What are the returned values? Are they perhaps just 0? Is the application a 32-bit application running on a 64-bit machine perhaps? There have been bugs in that area in the past, though I don't believe anything changed between 3.19 and 4.0. In fact, in wext nothing really changed at all - only some internal maintenance (commit 319090bf6c75e3ad42a8c74973be5e78ae4f948f) > This behaviour is observable both using 'iwconfig <dev>' > and wavemon info screen, where it was reported in [1]. > > It looks as if this is a WEXT issue, since on the same > system multiple 'iw dev <devname> station dump' calls > return different signal level values. > > I can confirm the behaviour on davem 4.1.0-rc6 net tree > at commit c46a024ea5, it has been reported on [1] for > fedora 21 with kernel-4.0.4-201/2 as well. > > That report also stated that the behaviour does not occur > on kernel-3.19.7-200.
