   Network indicator lists the non-exist AP (timeout for the AP to be removed is too big, ~6min)

Title:
  Network manager caches previously seen access points too long

Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Using mako #87.
  Enable wifi on deivce. 
  Go for a drive to a friend or relatives house where they have wifi.
  When you arrive, pull down the network indicator and try to find the access point.

  What you should see is a small number of access points nearby, with
  the strongest signal ones being obvious.

  What actually happens is for some time you see every access point the
  phone saw along the journey between locations.

  See video:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQMLik-WH5o

  I would expect the number of access points listed to age/decay faster.
  I guess we haven't noticed this before on the desktop because people
  don't usually do what I did with a laptop/desktop.
