The first call returns a plausible value e.g. -78dB. All subsequent calls return the same value, regardless of receiver position (moving the laptop).
It almost looks like a static value that gets initialized and then does not change. There is a similar behaviour for scan results: the signal levels reported for stations remain the same for all subsequent calls. Previously these also changed with time and position of receiver. > Is the application a 32-bit application running on a 64-bit machine > perhaps? Sorry forgot to mention: application and operating system both 64 bit, the bug submitted to wavemon also mentioned 64 bit. Thank you for the reply -- maybe this means that the root cause is in a different part; I would not know which at the moment. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
