Is there a manual “scan for Wifi networks now” in Network-Manager?

3 Background Most mobile OSes have a button to re-check for new Wifi networks. In Ubuntu I know I can type iwlist wlan0 scan and see the results printed disable and re-enable Wifi in the Network indicator type sudo service network-manager restart and restart the whole thing. wait for it to automatically re-scan for new networks Q: Is there a way to nudge Network-Manager to re-scan for networks, besides nuking it as above? wireless network-manager share | improve this question edited Jan 29 '16 at 15:21 asked Jan 29
