Bug Description

Device mako
vivid devel proposed
channel r155

When i am at work i often see that i am still connected to my home wifi.

nmcli clearly show that i am connected to my home wifi.

In order to connect to my work network i need to switch wifi off and on. This can take a good 30sec in order to clear all the wifi network that has been found. ( up to 100)

I wasn't able to reproduce this with RTM.

That said, there's a pending version of network-manager that fixes a separate issue with the WiFi access point list showing APs that shouldn't be there anymore. See bug #1427205.

There's a version of NM in a PPA that fixes this bug. @taiebot65, not sure if you're device is read/write. If so, would you mind testing this version of NM to see if helps?

Meanwhile, when I get a chance, I'll try to reproduce on vivid.
