   I'm seeing some variability.   
      
   nmcli device wifi rescan   
   nmcli device wifi list   
      
   on three different machines give different lists. The most complete is the   
   Lenovo laptop. Different chip sets and locations.   
      
   The equivalent 'netsh wlan show networks' on the Windows laptop shows 7.   
   The ones with the signal strength below 40 come and go. netsh doesn't show   
   signal strength or the BSSID. I don't know if there are additional flags   
   for that or to do a rescan.
