Thank you Dan for your information!! I will do some tries and let you know if there are problems with the refresh of the list. I was complaining about the presence of ghost APs because a user thinks that he can connect to it even if he is not in range (6 minutes is still a lot. why so much?)... an

you told me that I should wait 10 seconds before having an updated list. for me it is a great thing! is the list updated even if it is open or should I close and reopen it? is this feature in 0.7 or already in 0.6.x? why iwlist eth1 scan is so quick? is it inaccurate? and definitely I cannot unde
