Subject: [PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8192de: Fix incorrect signal strength for
unassociated AP
The routine that processes received frames was returning the RSSI value for the
signal strength; however, that value is available only for associated APs. As
a result, the strength was the absurd value of 10 dBm. As a result, scans
return incorrect values for the strength, which causes unwanted attempts to roam.

Whitespace issues on all 3 of these patches as well, but I can edit
these by hand...
Thanks. I was planning on sending the 3.12 replacements today, but I see you did
the necessary fixes. By my count, all are now handled. Is that correct?
Larry
