Comment(by Treviño):

 I've also to add that doing a simple
 {{{
 watch -n1 "iwconfig eth0"
 }}}
 I see, every second, the Link quality and the singnal level changing also
 if my eth0 is not associated with any AP and the eth0 is down.

 Maybe this is linked also to another issue (I don't know if it has been
 really ever reported yet) that from my tests using "ifdown eth0" or
 "ifconfig eth0" or any other GUI command to turn off the Wifi after a
 wireless sessiond don't work at all. In fact the wireless chip seems to
 continue to stay on and if I detach the FR from the USB/AC power I get the
 battery drained in few hours (also if suspended).
