Network Manager Applet on Fedora 13, no option to refresh the Wireless Network list
I've been using Ubuntu and Fedora for sometimes, with gnome as my default Desktop. Ubuntu and Fedora has been using Network Manager Applet on their Gnome Desktop... But I notice that there's is no option in Network Manager Applet to refresh the Wireless Network, that way I 'WAIT' until the Wireless Access Points visible on the Network Manager Applet.. This can be kinda annoying, since there's nothing you can do but to wait... But I have found a way to refresh the Wireless Network list.
First thing first, open up the gnome-terminal, either from the Applications menu or the Run box (Alt+F2). Then login as 'root'.
su
Type in your root password. The next thing is to identify your wireless interface. To do this, type in the following:
iwconfig
You'll see something like this:
List of Wireless interface - iwconfig
In this case, my wireless interface is 'wlan0'. Now we'll scan the network interface.
iwlist wlan0 scanning
Replace 'wlan0' with your wireless interface. ex. 'ath0'
That's it, your Wireless Network in Network Manager Applet should be refreshed now.
