[Bug 1589401] Re: cannot view wifi networks after re-enabling wifi

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

In general, please run 'sudo iw dev wlan0 scan' (or a variation of this
command with the right interface name for your system). Your system
should, from there, show scan results in the nm-applet menu.

If this *does not* solve your issue, please file a new bug report, and
report here what the number is. Do not reuse some other bug report
someone else may have filed; even though things look the same, doesn't
mean they are.

If this works, we've effectively established that the issue is in the
scanning logic. We've looked at the code in NetworkManager before, and
these issues seem to be more prevalent in Intel hardware, which makes me
suspect the Intel firmware a whole lot -- which means we're not any more
advanced in solving this issue than before. Doesn't mean NM isn't wrong,
just that the more likely culprit is the kernel or firmware. There are
already many bugs open on this.

If you're seeing this issue, but you're not using an Intel wireless
card, then please speak up, so we know whether to look at other pieces
of the system.

** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
