Description

When I scan for all access points, all their S:N (Signal to Noise Ratio) is reported as zero!

  1. /etc/rc.conf
    wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
    ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA"

Doing a `ifconfig wlan0 scan` reports for example:

Note that on FreeBSD 14.0, the S:N has proper values.

The iwm0 driver is recognized as:

iwm0: <Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8265> mem 0xdd100000-0xdd101fff at device 0.0 on pci58
iwm0: hw rev 0x230, fw ver 22.361476.0, address 98:2c:bc:36:61:e5

FYI, the fw version is identical to the one on FreeBSD 14 (different Laptop though).

I can connect to the network with iwm0. Just wondering if the access point selection might be sub-optimal
if S:N is unknown, or it might be just a "display" problem.

Tested it both on 6.4-STABLE and latest HEAD revision of master branch.
