Comment 6 for bug 1445134

Note, I've confirmed the behavior on arale, krilin and mako running the latest stable ( OTA5 ) images.

I've also confirmed on my desktop, a Thinkpad 410s with Intel WiFi ( driver=iwlwifi ).

The behavior can be see by running wpa_cli ( as root ). Initially after boot, scan_results will return a list of APs, but after time, it will start returning an empty list ( unless associated, in which case the current AP will be returned ). Also on a system running 0.9.8.X ( <= 14.10 ), you'll see periodic scan events reported by wpa_cli:
