A user with 4.15.11-1~bpo9+1 Debian kernel reported the following problem with
Intel 9260NGW in a Dell XPS 13: the following nl80211 reported values were off
[1]:
* signal average (NL80211_STA_INFO_SIGNAL_AVG) reported as +72 dBm
* beacon signal average (NL80211_STA_INFO_BEACON_SIGNAL_AVG) repo
Thanks a lot indeed, it is helping a good step forward.

appreciate help with the following:

A problem has been found in recent kernels where multiple
calls using SIOCGIWSTATS return the same, identical value.
This behaviour is observable both using 'iwconfig '
and wavemon info screen, where it was reported in [1].
It looks as if this is a WEXT issue, since on the same
system multiple '
