This bug also affects newly turned-on wifi hotspots. The only fix I can find, is to set a hotkey to restart the network manager manually, and set the action to: service network-manager restart
If it is not possible to refresh the network list, I recommend at least adding a button to the drop-down to restart the network manager in the mean time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086506 Title: NetworkManager applet wireless connections refresh too slow Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I physically turn off a wireless router, the connection name remains in the list of Wireless Networks long after. Repeated clicking on the network manager applet does not refresh the list. The delay to refresh the list of Wireless Network names can be 10-15 minutes. The problem is reproducible.
