Did you try the patch? I suspect not. I can't really decipher what problem you are reporting here with "100 % strength and others less than 50 %". In any case, if you have RTL8185 hardware then this patch changes the signal calculation to match what the Realtek-provided vendor driver does (which doesn't seem to match their datasheet, FWIW). If you have a better source of information then I am happy to receive it. If you have RTL8180 (i.e. not RTL8185) hardware then neither version of the patch is likely to help you much (beyond avoiding the warning you originally reported). I hope to improve that as well in the future. John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx might be all we have.
