   Network Center problems

   a) Network Center really does need to convert to iw, instead of iwlist.   
   Again I was at Gatwick airport and Network Center showed nothing. the number   
   of AP exceeded the maximum that iwlist can tolerate and it completely craps   
   out. If nothing else someone (I wish I could but I do not have the perl   
   knowledge) should write a wrapper for iw to put out the dame format as   
   iwlist scan   
   puts out so one could plug that into network center.   
      
   b)Network Center occassionally compleely destroys the entry into   
   wpa_supplicant.conf. Ie, I bring up Nework Center, try to connect to eduroam   
   say (a 'universal' access point for universities around the world which   
   requries WPA2 Enterprise with and EAP login/password, etc) and network center   
   has completely forgotten the setup. When You look into wpa_supplicant.conf, it   
   has been rewritten and all the old information forgotten.   
   This is really nasty since the setup for eduroam is quite specfic and hard to   
   remember all the details of.   
      
   I have no idea why network center suddenly thinks eduroam is not set   
   up and asks you to configure it, and dectroys the old configuration.
