wireless scan is lagging

[Radu Cristescu]

The Ubuntu 8.10 network manager's wireless scan is lagging. It was fine in 8.04

Here's what happens:

I'm in location A, with a bunch of wireless networks, and I attach to one of them. I do my stuff, etc. etc. After a while I put my laptop into suspend mode and go to location B, on the other side of town. I wake my laptop there and... it attempt to connect to the previous wireless network. The new networks are added to the list, but the old ones are kept around for a while as well, with strong signal strengths too.

This results in a dialog windows asking me for the right wireless passphrase for a non-existent wireless network. I have to either be fast enough and select a proper access point before the dialog shows up, or cancel it and select the proper network then. And I need to know what the proper network is.

After a while, the old networks go away, but why don't they go away as soon as I suspend or wake the computer? They used to in 8.04

Bug still present in Jaunty.

Supposedly the fix exists somewhere upstream: http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/02/26/suspendresume-vs-networkmanager/

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Karmic? Thanks in advance.
