Bug Description
In the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Release Candidate as well as the yesterday released final version of Intrepid Ibex 8.10, the wireless-lan card Belkin F5D6001 shows a very weak signal strength.
While the card works only with the net8180 windows driver and ndiswrapper under Hardy Heron 8.04 with ~80% signal strength, the rtl8180 driver module in 8.10 will recognize the card properly but with a signal strength of only 5 to 10%.
The connection to the router seems to be stable, and I'm getting good DL/UL speeds, so I guess there's something up with the display of the connection quality.
I see a similarity to the following reported bug: https:/
If I can provide with further information, please feel free to let me know.
Edit: I confirmed my problem with the final release version of Intrepid.

I found this bug listed in bugzilla: http:// bugzilla. kernel. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=11392
Maybe that's the reason for the "weak" signal strength.
