But version 2 doesn't change the fact that driver is going to report
same signal strength even tough I know that only one wifi should have
100 % strength and others less than 50 %. There is only one router in
same room with me and all others routers are a lot more father away.
So driver is either reading wrong bits from hardware or my hardware is
broken.
