Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-09-09 11:58:06 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/59159

"Since a few weeks back, network-admin doesn't list any ESSID's for my wireless device. But they sure can be scanned. "iwlist scanning" shows access points near by."

src/network/connection.c wireless_essid_populate_model() has most of its code commented
Comment 1 Carlos Garnacho 2006-11-19 15:40:26 UTC
I've just committed code to HEAD to scan wireless network dynamically (including quality and encryption), this code uses libiw directly and is built only if the library and development files are found at configure time

gnome-2-16 branch doesn't have this code, but backporting shouldn't be too hard
