AI Thread Summary
The extra text fields in the Wavemon scan screen provide specific information about wireless networks. The percentage in the third column indicates the signal strength or quality of the detected network. Additional fields like "ESS," "5% chan," and "1 sta" denote features such as the network type (Extended Service Set), channel usage, and the number of stations connected, respectively. Terms like "Radio Measure" and "Spectrum mgmt" refer to the network's radio performance metrics and spectrum management capabilities. Detailed explanations for these fields are not readily available in the MAN page or other resources.

In the <F3> (scan) screen of Wavemon, there are certain outputs whose meaning I would like to know.

1. In the third column, there is a percentage. What does that indicate?

2. After the frequency column, some rows (i.e. some SSIDs) have extra text fields like "ESS", "5% chan", "1 sta", "Radio Measure", "Spectrum mgmt".
Code:
6, 2437 MHz 1 sta, 3% chan, Radio Measure, Spectrum Mgmt

What do those extra items mean? The MAN page does not explain this, nor could I find other sources of information.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'
Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
