[maemo-developers] Question about WLAN

[From: swaroop k.s]

I went through the lists to see if I could get my question answered
there, but could not find enough information.

I am developing an application which will need information about the
visible WiFi access points at periodic intervals. But, (possibly due
to the power saving mode) N800 does not list all the visible APs
through the wireless extensions (iwlist), especially when the device
is already associated with an access point.

Things I've tried so far:
1. Tried setting the WLAN_SLEEP_TIMEOUT thorugh gconftool
2. Tried fiddling with the osso-wlan sources
3. Tried using the conic api

But, the problem seems to be something beyond all these? am I right?
Also, I do see there is something that can solve this. Through the
WLAN connectivity UI, if I select "Change connections", I can see all
the access points in the user Interface. So, I think there is a way of
getting this information. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Does anyone know how to get around this?

Thanks in advance for the help.
