Are you sure you have zero signal strength, or just really low signal
strength?  I am pretty sure on the s5h1411, the signal strength field
is populated with the the SNR, which could be construed as very low
signal strength if you were expecting a percentage scaled from 0 to
65535.

Have you run femon to confirm that the strength field really is zero?
