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

The fix just went into net.git.
