I notice that the WLAN signals kept too long. For example: I detect a new AP. Then I drive on and 500 m away I still detect the signal. Or: I am standing before a red traffic light. Still detecting a signal from an AP. Then, suddenly, the AP is not reachable.
I test this with my own AP. I switch it on and 5 sec later my notebook and NS detect the signal. Then I switch off the AP – and approx. 35 sec I detect the signal.
That's different when my notebook was logged in into my AP. Then, after I switch off the AP, the signal detection is lost after 5 sec.
And I think it's not a problem of NS – it's a problem of my WLAN card (Intel pro wireless 2100 3B mini pci adapter) or Windows XP.

Can I force it to "rescan" faster ?
