Found testing v1.1.0-RC8-2-g23a2bb6 on A8 s/n 0498 (rtw88 dongle).
A scan returns 9 networks, from a very close AP to faint neighbours. Every one shows the same signal, and frequency is always empty:
{"frequency":"","signal":"****","flags":"psk","SSID":"The Merlins"}
{"frequency":"","signal":"****","flags":"psk","SSID":"Kraakeslottet"}
... all nine "****"
The dropdown therefore reads Kraakeslottet **** for everything.
Why
iwctl station wlan0 get-networks prints signal as four asterisks and marks the unfilled ones with an ANSI colour. wifi-scan strips the colour codes first (sed $'s/\x1b\[[0-9;]*m//g'), so every network comes out as ****. Nothing fills frequency.
Suggested direction
Count the uncoloured stars before stripping, or read RSSI another way (iwctl station wlan0 get-bsses, or iw dev wlan0 scan dump for dBm and frequency). The client already has signalBars() for dBm.
