The GNOME NetworkManager AppletThe GNOME NetworkManager AppletPosted Jan 26, 2006 10:27 UTC (Thu) by xanni (subscriber, #361)Parent article: The GNOME NetworkManager Applet
"The signal strength display can be used for optimizing the antenna direction, but it is just slow enough to make this process painful. The update time is in the order of several seconds."
Check whether the Gnome Network Monitor applet has the same problem. On my machine (Thinkpad G41 with Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC) the Network Monitor applet displays signal strength bars on the Gnome panel and a rapidly updated signal strength meter (both graphical and numeric) when you click on the icon. Note that if you were previously monitoring another connection, typically eth0, you may need to change the interface being monitored after you have started your WiFi connection.
