So far, trying to get this problem solved, I have made a initscript that
runs before NM. This script enables the wireless interface and performs a
couple of scans (iwlist).

Doing this (which performs as asked, finding almost all the networks in
range), doesn't cause any effect on NM. NM still shows only a few of the
available networks at startup.

Is this something that can be dealt with at device autostart or something
like that. I would really appreciate if anyone could point me at any
direction, since I'm a bit lost inside the NM code. Maybe the function that
starts the network interfaces, and/or where does NM take the scan results
from at startup.

Thanks in advance for any answers anyone can provide.

Cheers
