Public bug reported:
The Ubuntu 8.10 network manager's wireless scan is lagging. It was fine
in 8.04
Here's what happens:
I'm in location A, with a bunch of wireless networks, and I attach to
one of them. I do my stuff, etc. etc. After a while I put my laptop into
suspend mode and go to location B, on the other side of town. I wake my
laptop there and... it attempt to connect to the previous wireless
network. The new networks are added to the list, but the old ones are
kept around for a while as well, with strong signal strengths too.
This results in a dialog windows asking me for the right wireless
passphrase for a non-existent wireless network. I have to either be fast
enough and select a proper access point before the dialog shows up, or
cancel it and select the proper network then. And I need to know what
the proper network is.
After a while, the old networks go away, but why don't they go away as
soon as I suspend or wake the computer? They used to in 8.04
