Hello everyone,
I use FreeBSD 13.1, Xfce4 and the xfec4-wavelan-plugin. Unfortunately this plugin only works to a limited extent on my computer, the signal strength in the tooltip and the icon is only updated once when the interface is started, after that the same value is always displayed.
So I have written a small patch based on the source code of ifconfig and the signal strength is now continuously updated.
Before I possibly submit this patch at GitLab or simply publish it here, I would be interested to know how the plugin behaves on your FreeBSD machines. Is your signal strength updated continuously or is it static?
And to improve my patch: what rssi value is displayed with the following command:
(on my machine I typically see values from 10 to 50, +/-2.5)
Many thanks in advance!
