[PATCH 2/3] rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix incorrect signal strength for unassociated AP

From: Larry Finger <hidden>
Date: 2013-11-05 21:15:29
Also in: linux-wireless
Subsystem: networking drivers (wireless), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

The routine that processes received frames was returning the RSSI value for the
signal strength; however, that value is available only for associated APs. As
a result, the strength was the absurd value of 10 dBm. As a result, scans
return incorrect values for the strength, which causes unwanted attempts to roam.
