Sounds to me like the best course of action will be for the client apps
(ie. indicator-network) to use the "last-seen" property on access-point
objects to make its own decisions about which access-points to show.
Provided it also regularly requests scans from NM (and it up to about
every 10 seconds), it should be possible to aggressively remove older
access-points from the scan list that indicator-network goes to show --
for instance, if scans are requested every 30 seconds, it's probably
fine to not show access-points older than slightly more than 30 seconds
(just in case an AP would only miss *one and only one* scan).

  Network indicator lists the non-exist AP (timeout for the AP to be

Bug description:
  Summary: Network indicator lists the non-exist AP
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Boot to system
  2. Scroll down the Network indicator
  3. It lists about 10 AP (In Taipei office)
  4. Go to another place and check network indicator again

  Expected Result:
  It should not list non-exist AP and only show available AP

  Actual Result:
  It shows about 12 AP on the screen but only two are real AP for connecting, and others 10 are from last list.

  This is reproducible on mako/krillin on both RTM and vivid.

  The main issue is that the timeout for the AP to be removed from the
  known AP list is too big when comparing with other phones.
