From syslog, noticed that there is never really a scan, which explains why the ap never goes away and why it is not able to find it in the first place. If I force a scan via cmdline it works as expected (and I noticed a scan also happens when changing connections). Was also able to reproduce this issue on mako, with the following image: phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ system-image-cli -i current build number: 173 device name: mako channel: ubuntu-touch/devel-proposed alias: ubuntu-touch/vivid-proposed last update: 2015-04-16 14:58:58 version version: 173 version ubuntu: 20150416 version device: 20150210 version custom: 20150416 In the mako case, I booted with a known connection in place, it connected successfully but it never really scans for other access points. Scan works fine after disconnecting though.
