We can possibly tweak this, since drivers are better these days than they used to be. The 6 minute interval was chosen a fairly long time ago. Great! Scanned signal strength reported from drivers is still not reliable, but is getting a lot better. NM cannot rely on signal strength for

quality is a subjective value that usually includes things like TX retries, decryption errors, and other connection information in addition to signal strength. You can have a fairly high signal-to-noise ratio but still have an overloaded radio channel with lots of collisions, which means

That's almost certainly a driver issue. If the driver is saying that quality of the AP is 30%, but you cannot connect, then the driver is wrong. The driver should be factoring all necessary information into the quality measurement. I will post a bug to ipw2200 tracer, thank you for the

understood. how much time should pass between the two clicks to be considered not a dos? I truely cannot realize if the scan is done only the first time of a series of clicks or the scan-when-click feature has been disabled because of this reason
