Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
- turn on a wifi router nearby
- click on the network applet icon
Expected behavior:
As soon as the new network becomes available, it should become visible in the
list within few seconds (and if it is a network you have already configured and
set to automatically connect to, it should connect)
Observed behavior:
You won't see the network show up in the list, or perhaps it will, after a few
minutes. Way too much time.
Additionally, there should be an item in the menu such as "scan for networks
now" to force scanning for available networks. But there's no such thing even.
So the only workaround is to physically disable and reenable wifi on
hardware, if your computer has a button for that. That will trigger re-
scanning for available networks.
