Feel free to modify the description of this bug. Do not connect a ethernet wired network connection Ensure there are no active network connections, Wired or Wireless Initially set up MCC -> Network & Internet -> Network Center Select Wireless (Wi-Fi) Select and set up a WiFi connection Configure (Check the box) the selected WiFi connection such that it starts at boot Connect to that service. Ensure that it works. Turn the laptop off and walk it out of range of the initial WiFi connection Turn laptop on and attempt to connect to any WiFi service managed or not. It won't work. You get a blank screen for any other WiFi services. Repeat the above process but ensure in the WiFi setup that the connection does not start at boot. You will now have to manually connect to a WiFi service but it will work everywhere. It appears to me that the WiFi connection is not turned off at power down and when the laptop is powered up again it assumes the connection is there and does not offer a listing of available WiFi connections. The "Disconnect" button function is not offered in the WiFi connection setup.

Bill. Following the qa meeting this evening I did some more testing. For me it was not 'start at boot' that worked around the issue. It was 'access point roaming'. As Luc mentioned in his original post on 8228 it is only when wpa_supplicant is running that draknetcenter fails to display the networks. With roaming disabled wpa_spplicant is not running as you can test because wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan_results will return an "unable to connect" message. With roaming enabled (and after a reboot) wpa_supplicant will be running and draknetcenter is empty. If so then it is not so serious since the default setting is roaming disabled, but it still needs fixing.
