Package: network-manager
Version: 0.6.4-8+b1
Severity: wishlist
It would be great if NetworkManager had an option to support asking to
explicitly rescan the list of available networks; frequently I do
something externally (eg, enable my wireless card), and I know the
list should be updated.

NetworkManager already supports that, sort of. Every time you click on the
nm-applet in the notification area, the list will be refreshed.
Besides, upstream developers strongly disagreed to add an explicit rescan option
via the nm-applet context menu.
The correct fix, as e.g. in your case, is to make NM aware of the rfkill_switch
(I guess, that's what you mean with "enable my wireless card").
Support for that will land in future versions of HAL, so NM can make use of it.
I'm therefore closing this bug report, as
a) The proper fix is make NM rfkill switch aware
b) I don't intend to maintain a patch in Debian that upstream strongly disagress
with.
Cheers,
Michael
