Hello,

I was checking how NM reacts, when an AP, that we are connected to,
dies or is getting out of range. I was expecting NM to notice that and remove the current AP from the list of available APs. However, NM keeps the AP in its list. I think this is because of this in nm-device-wifi.c:

/* Don't ever prune the AP we're currently associated with */
if (cur_ap_path && !strcmp (cur_ap_path, nm_ap_get_dbus_path (ap)))
  keep = TRUE;

What was the reasoning behind keeping the AP we're connected to, when it is not in the scanning list anymore? Are some cards not reporting the AP we are connected to in the scanning list or why?
