mac80211: Fix quality reporting for wireless stats
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since "mac80211/cfg80211: move iwrange handler to cfg80211", the
results for link quality from "iwlist scan" and "iwconfig" commands
have been very different. The results are now consistent.
