Previously the status was reported as "? at Warren". If Warren happened to
be the first AP it would have been repored with a quality of '100' always
(regardless of signal strength since it was using the 'INT' column from
ifconfig). Now with my format string set to display %signal instead of
%quality I get "-60 dBm at Warren" as my status text.
In addition, after changing from scan results to station info, the signal strength changes
periodically whereas before it changed rarely (I believe I have bgscan disabled, so it was
only scanning when trying to associate).
