Description Jan Grulich 2016-11-16 06:59:25 UTC
With NM 1.6, there is a plan not to do automatical wifi scanning, but delegate this into clients (UI) itself. With this change, we will have to request a scan whenever the applet/editor/kcm is opened and keep requesting every ~15 seconds if it's still opened.

Auto-scan for wireless networks every 15 seconds

NetworkManager plans to reduce periodic scanning in future and
clients are now supposed to scan manually instead. Now the scan
button is removed as it doesn't make sense anymore, because we
now request scan every 15 seconds when either the applet or kcm
is opened. This is implemented the same way in Gnome.
