3) What is expected to happen is Network Manager populates networks
within range immediately when ones wireless hardswitch is turned on,
whether the ethernet cord is plugged in or not.
4) What happened instead is when the wireless hardswitch is off, ethernet
plugged in, one removes the ethernet cord, then within seconds turn the
wireless hardswitch on so the WiFi indicator light is on, no networks are in
range, even after waiting a few minutes.
Please see screenshot.png for scenario where the ethernet cord is plugged in,
wifi switch on and no wifi networks populate Network Manager.
WORKAROUND: In Ubuntu 10.10 reboot the pc with the ethernet cord
unplugged, wireless hardswitch turned on.
WORKAROUND: In Ubuntu 11.04, with wireless hardswitch turned off,
ethernet cable plugged in, perform a clean boot. Disconnect ethernet
cord then turn on wireless hardswitch and notice no wireless networks
in the area. Perform the following via the Terminal:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo stop network-manager
network-manager stop/waiting
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo start network-manager
network-manager start/running, process 5172
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Notice one may see wireless networks in range and successfully
connected.
