[Bug 1425172] Re: Network indicator lists the non-exist AP (timeout for the AP to be removed is too big, ~6min)

 

The internal NMDeviceWiFi scan logic works like this:

It's minimum interval is 20s.  It's set to this when the device first
becomes ready or the device_state -> DISCONNECTED.

If the supplicant dies, it's set to 23s.

If an activation succeeds, the interval is set to 26s.
 
Every  time schedule_scan is called and the prior request to scan succeeded, the interval is incremented by 10s or 20s ( depends on the current device_state ), up to a maximum of 120s.

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.
