Okay... And how many different ESSIDs out of those 30 APs? And how many
of those ESSIDs did nm-applet display?

I don't know. I can run "iwlist ath0 scan" multiple times, over and
over, and get the full list of APs. That list contains 15 APs right
now.

How do I find the list that NM retrieves? Does it log the list anywhere?
I just find it odd that the list in the pulldown doesn't match the list
I see in "iwlist ath0 scan".
I'm about to move location, so I bet that as soon as I do this problem will
go away because there will be an 'a' network AP earlier in the scan list
and therefore NM will see it. At least, that's my guess. I don't know.
