This is quite a time-killer for me, as I move from coffee shop to home
every day.  Today it took about 30 minutes before nm-applet rescanned...
just long enough for me to figure out how to do it manually from the
command line (nm-applet seems to have some spite programmed in it).

I run:
iwlist eth1 scan

and I get all the wireless connections I want to connect to, while the
previous ones are still showing in nm-applet, that no longer exist.
What is more, I flip the manual wireless switch on the laptop, or turn
off wireless on nm-applet, then return them back on and the non-existent
connections are still showing!

nm-applet must a) be keeping its own records somewhere, other than what
iwlist is getting its information from, and b) is not auto-updating for
up to 1/2 hour at a time.  Why?
