Bug Description

Some businesses and schools may configure multiple access points with the same SSID/security scheme in order to provide an environment where Wi-Fi devices can seamlessly roam from one access point to another.

The network indicator should filter SSIDs so that if it finds multiple instances of an SSID with matching security scheme, it should filter out the duplicates and only show a single entry.

This was tested on a Nexus10 ( manta ) running phablet-image #49.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Ensure that you have multiple access points with the same SSID/Security scheme present and active.

2. Open the network indicator

Expected Result:

You should only see a single menu item for the associated network

Actual Result:

Menu items for each instance of the SSID are shown

Can someone who can see this post the output of "nm-tool" when it's happening? We do deduplicate the SSIDs, but considering the age I'm not sure if that code just wasn't added/working at the time this bug was reported. But, if it is happening, I'll need the list of SSIDs/security that is causing it to debug the dedup code.
