This one has annoyed me for quite a while now (well before 15.x). Having to disable/enable wifi to get network manager applet to see the wifi ssid (or wait quit a while) is a bit of a pain and shouldn't be necessary for a modern OS. Also, the fact that there is no way anywhere, either in network-manager applet or in network manager itself (network settings), to force a refresh really sucks.
My network manager applet disappeared for a while (until I worked out how to fix that) so to get my lappy to see my wifi I had open Network Settings, click "Connect to a hidden network", then select the ssid from the drop down list of known networks. Not exactly convenient! So a "scan now" button would be great, along with more frequent automatic wifi scanning. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491612 Title: doesn't scan for available wifi networks often enough + no way to manually force a scan To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1491612/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
