Signal color goes off

[MichaelSchroter]

Hi I have installed networkmgr on FreeBSD 13 using pkg install networkmgr. However, I have a small issue with it. While, the signal strength indicator default color is blue sometimes it becomes ash color. This happens around 50% of the time. Furthermore, it happens when I start the computer and stays like that for the duration. This issue does not have an effect on the internet performance. Please let me know if I could do anything about it. Please find the attached image of it.

Thanks & Best Regards

Michael

I know this report is old but I was wondering if the driver was iwm?

I have one laptop that I can reproduce it with, but it looks like the iwm driver is at fault.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Yes. I believe so. My laptop is ideapad 100S-14IBR. So how can I overcome this issue? I have currently installed wifimgr through pkg.

Thanks & Best Regards

I have tested wifimgr and I see the same problem then NetworkMgr. The ways the signal is calculated is the same in NetworkMgr then wifimgr. So you should see the same problem with it.

Hi, thanks for the reply. In my case there is a small issue (in wifimgr) when the connection goes down where, the WiFi still shows it is connected. Also, the GUI of wifimgr is also a bit off (please see FreeBSD image and wifi up-down button's power logo). Please refer the attached image of it for our kind perusal. Those are the only issues I have come across so far. The loss of blue color in the WiFi signal icon does not happen in wifimgr (as in networkmgr) for me.

Are there any plans to solve these issues please?

Thanks & Best Regards

I think the issue is at the driver level and not with wifimgr and NetworkMgr. Can you give me the output off this ifconfig wlan0 | grep "parent interface"? So far, I have tested 4 drivers, and only iwm give me those results.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I get: parent interface: iwm0 Thanks & Best Regards Schroter

iwm is an incomplete driver, it does not support AC and I will not be able to fix this issue since I am not a kernel module and driver developer.

I am closing this issue.
