NetworkStatus applet no longer shows available wifi networks

Description

Since updating from hrev56549 to hrev56554, NetworkStatus applet doesn't list any wifi networks anymore (same with Network preferences). However, I can still get a connection if I use the Terminal, e.g.: ifconfig /dev/net/iaxwifi200/0 join "SSID name"

Apart from that, everything seems to work fine.

Does the Network preferences and ifconfig ... list work to display networks?

I recently changed how Network preferences and NetworkStatus (but not ifconfig) get the scan results list. I tested both and they worked for me at least...

Oh, I see now:

(same with Network preferences).

Guess somehow it does not work with all drivers? That's quite strange. Guess I'll have to test with my idualwifi devices and see if I can reproduce it that way (just tested with realtekwifi).

Please do test ifconfig though, even if Network preferences does not work.

FWIW, it doesn't work with the atheroswifi driver either.

For the /dev/net/iaxwifi200/0, both Network preferences and ifconfig /dev/net/iaxwifi200/0 list result in an empty list with hrev56554. With hrev56549 I could still see the available SSIDs listed in both places.
