Subject: values in /proc/net/wireless are static, doesn't change; iwlwifi, Intel 6205
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 07:55:23 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20150611T094911-428@post.gmane.org> (raw)

I'm on a thinkpad X230 with Intel Advanced-N 6205 card, iwlwifi driver. 

Reading /proc/net/wireless, I find that the values there does not change. No 
matter me moving around, changing distance to my AP. On my old machine (X60), 
I was used to sometimes using for example wavemon(1) to find out where I get 
the best reception. I this a limitation of my network card, driver, or some 
combitation? As designed, or a flaw?

The values in question: Quality link/level/noise: 52.  -58.  -256
