Bug Description
When setting up hotspot for some devices, as well as from boot on some others; there are extra interfaces aside from "wlan0":
ap0
p2p0
Both of which aren't to be used as master devices for connections, and as such will normally not report scan results. These devices ought not to be ignored by NetworkManager (we currently carry a patch to do so, unfortunately) since there are legitimate uses for them; such as to support WiFi-Direct, wireless displays, hotspot, etc.
This bug is to make sure these devices are properly "ignored" in indicator-network -- not that they should be explicitly never used, but the device from which the scan results come needs to be recorded so that this device is also specified when creating/activating a connection, to ensure the devices that do not have scan results are not displayed in the indicator.
Feel free to close this bug if this is already being done.
