Public bug reported: Sometimes, after waking up the laptop from hibernation, nm-applet won't scan for networks. In these cases, the list of available Wifis can be just outdated or directly empty.
Switching Wireless on/off and Network on/off doesn't trigger a scan. Usually running sudo iwlist <interface> scan on a terminal makes the wifi networks available immediately in nm-applet I'm using 16.04 (ubt had the same problem on 15.10) network-manager-gnome: Installed: 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630336 Title: NM doesn't scan for wifi networks after hibernation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1630336/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
