Can this patch get integrated? I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on my Power Mac
G4 and the lying icon bugs me, because I know I have a strong signal.

Title:
  dbus: Fix endianness bug in Frequency and Signal properties

Status in wpasupplicant package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Please include the attached patch in the next update to wpasupplicant
  in Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).

  The patch is based on this upstream commit
  http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap-1.git;a=commitdiff;h=42f93a9a0f1858ba8492a1349515624965a64e34;hp=5045a668201f1027dbcc91bd8d092bbcee15a2e3

  The version of wpasupplicant currently in precise has the following
  PowerPC bug:

  To reproduce:

  1. connect to a wireless network by clicking on the name in the applet.
  2. check that the connection works.
  3. see that there is no network listed under "Wireless Networks" in the applet menu. (Although the "Disconnect" word is there and functional.)
  4. see that the signal strength is apparantly empty on the applet icon. (Yet the signal strength is actually quite strong.)
  5. check nmcli command and see that signal strength always shows 100 and frequency 0.

  Applying the patch to wpasupplicant 0.7.3-6ubuntu2.1 fixes the problem
  (on my PowerPC G4 iBook).  Before finding this patch I've had to work
  around the problem by installing wicd.

  Thanks
