Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2011-03-13 13:34:49 UTC 
Call GetAccessPoints (interface org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Devices.Wireless) to /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 (i.e. wifi) returns empty array. There are no /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/AccessPoint/* objects.

YOu'll need to make sure you have this patch for wpa_supplicant 0.7.3, which is currently on the supplicant git master but not in a release (new releases of wpa_supplicant are sometimes slow...):

http://w1.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap-07.git;a=commit;h=b80b5639935d37b95d00f86b57f2844a9c775f57

that should fix your problem.
Comment 2 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2011-03-19 14:02:13 UTC 
I hadn't had this patch but after appling it nothing changed.
Comment 3 Dan Williams 2011-03-19 15:28:28 UTC 
If you stop NM and run it like this:

NetworkManager --no-daemon --log-level=debug --log-domains=CORE,HW,WIFI,WIFI_SCAN

then you'll get a lot of good info about what's actually happening.  Can you attach the resulting output?
Comment 4 Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2011-03-20 02:08:23 UTC 
This time it worked (but I removed /etc/NetworkManager directory first).
