Description Ryan Li 2013-09-25 06:24:10 UTC
I am using Broadcom's BCM4312 wireless card with b43 driver. NetworkManager shows no available wireless networks even though I can see them using `iwlist wlan0 scan'.

The strange part is, a couple seconds after running `iwlist wlan0 scan`, NetworkManager is able to find my wireless network and connect to it without any glitches.

I was using 3.7-ish kernel and everything was fine. This only happened after I upgraded to 3.8. I am using 3.10.7 and this is still happening.

Reproducible: Always

I no longer have this bug after I upgraded to wpa_supplicant-2.0-r2 yesterday.
