Some drivers (for example ipw2100) do not report signal level but only signal quality. wpa_supplicant already uses the signal quality if no level is reported and all other comparision parameters are equal to sort the scan results. However, if two APs have different max rates and the signal level does not differ much wpa_supplicant chooses the AP with the higher max rate. In case of ipw2100 no signal level is reported and thus wpa_supplicant always takes the AP with higher max rate even if its signal quality is really low. For example if AP1 (max rate 11Mb/s, 80% signal quality) and AP2 (max rate 54 Mb/s, 20% signal quality) are found by a scan wpa_supplicant would choose AP2. Hence, if no signal level is reported depend on the signal quality if max rate should be compared. A quality difference of 10% is considered acceptable in favor of the higher max rate.

wpa_supplicant and hostapd v0.6.x --------------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2007, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These program is dual-licensed under both the GPL version 2 and BSD license. Either license may be used at your option. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files have been moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now build by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
