in not so distant past, 5.x, iirc, right clicking network connection icon in task bar brought up a window showing wifi signals in area.
this is no longer and i would like to have ability again either with network connection icon or with another icon that can reside in task bar.
any ideas or suggestions?

is that with gnome or kde dte?
on a tower box; eth0 = onboard wired ethernet eth1 = wired ethernet card connected to a modem/router/wifi eth? = wifi/wireless card
left click only shows the onboard wired ethernet and wired ethernet card connections.
right click shows;

would not say a bug. believe more like devs left feature out with 6.x.
best bet maybe to pull some 'war drive' progs, which i have been considering for laptop.
thanks for your replying.
