In rtl8192se, rtl8192cu, and rtl8192du, the routines that process the
received frames get the signal strength from the RSSI value. Unfortunately,
that value is non-zero only if the interface is associated with the AP. As
a result, scans return incorrect values for the strength, which causes
unwanted attempts to roam.

The routine that processes received frames was returning the RSSI value for the
signal strength; however, that value is available only for associated APs. As
a result, the strength was the absurd value of 10 dBm. As a result, scans
return incorrect values for the strength, which causes unwanted attempts to roam.
