Driverloader and signal strength

[JoeyJoeJo]

I have a broadcom 802.11g card that I use driverloader for. For some reason, no matter how good or bad the signal strength is, it always reports 92. Is there a way to make it accurate. or is this not possible?

Which program are you using to monitor the wirless with? I know KDE's wireless tools are not accurate with the G-cards.

Did you look at their FAQ at http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/faq.php#23

for that lazy, it doesn't work ;)
#23 Can I use "monitoring utilities" with DriverLoader?

Generally not yet, but programs like tcpdump in promiscuous mode should work if the Windows NDIS driver does offer that functionality.

Monitoring/spy modes are usually not officially supported by NDIS, only promiscuous mode. Programs like Netstumbler often use proprietary (driver-specific) NDIS extensions which we do not support yet.

As for the "wireless signal" softwares, DriverLoader provides the RSSI (receive signal strength indicator) as signal level, but the signal quality and noise values are not supported due to NDIS limitations. Quality is always 1/1 and noise -200 dBm - they are just "placeholder" values.
