   nmcli on Linux does have a 'rescan' command. Running rescan and list on   
   the same machine, same location, again and again, will frequently report   
   different APs with different signal strengths.   
      
   Another laptop, 10' away, shows a few more although that vaires between   
   rescans. A laptop 4' away shows many more than the desktop.   
      
   I presume that the difference between machines is a combination of   
   location and the wifi device, but that doesn't explain the difference   
   between successive rescans on the same machine.   
      
   If netsh is broken, so is nmcli.
