Bug Description

14.09-proposed #109

Test Case
1. Open the network indicator
  -> Verify that the list of access point is not empty
2. Turn flight mode on and wait a little bit
  -> Verify that cellular and wifi are disabled
3. Turn flight mode off and wait a little bit
  -> Verify that cellular and wifi are enabled
  -> Verify that the list of AP is not empty

Actual result
The list of AP is empty after turning flightmode back on.

"nmcli dev wifi list" shows the right list of access points

This works fine for me if I wait a little bit longer.

When I turn flight mode off, first it reconnects to the preferred access point, and shows it in the list. Then a few seconds later it shows the other access points in the list too.

let's see if this is still the issue after the TOP BLOCKERs have been taken care of. *Might* have been fixed by all of the other changes.

There is some improvement but not completely fixed.

When I disable flight mode, only the active access point is listed. In my case nmcli lists 3 access points and the indicator shows only one. It's reproducible even after a reboot.

jibel: if you still see this bug happening, could you attach the output of

     $ sudo iwlist scan
     $ nmcli d wifi
     $ dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=com.canonical.indicator.network

Still exist in Ubuntu 16.04.2 after I have the Hotspot off and on.
The indicator does not show anything but I can still connect to the last wifi.
