[Trisquel-users] Re : Not all Wifi access points listed

[lcerf]

The result I gave was without 'sudo'. In this way, 'iwlist' immediately  
describes the access point the system is connected to, and only that access  
point. With 'sudo', 'iwlist' takes much more time and lists all access  
points. Also, the "last beacon" times always are much more recent. I  
therefore believe that only root can force a new scan of the available access  
points and the time is reset, hence far smaller (less than a second) when the  
results are returned.
