Cip Man, you're seeing a different issue with the wireless device. This isn't the same bug.

What gets fixed here is that wireless devices may be seen as *ethernet* rather than wireless, because of confusion in NM in detecting the device type -- it doesn't mean you definitely would have a list of wireless networks if the wireless device doesn't do the scanning properly.

The correct way to verify this bug here is to use 'nmcli dev' and to see whether a device that is supposed to be a wireless device is being listed as "ethernet".

Ideally, please file your own, separate bug so we can fix that as well.
