Hi all. On system startup (not all wireless devices are configured) NM starts periodic scans on all of interfaces. It creates a load on the dbus and NM, some services are failing with timeout because of it. Usually, it happens when a system has several virtual interfaces on one physical chip - wpa_supplicant sends scan results to all siblings. For example, if the system has 3 virtual interfaces, NM starts 3 scans and receives 3 scan results on each. So NM receives 9 scan results (150 AP in each of them, mainly with the same APs since all scans are done on one chip), see diagram in MR description [1]. In another project it even worse since there 4 virtual interfaces - 16 scan results. It definitely works the wrong way. If you want to avoid useless scans you could just cache scan results internally in a daemon. And send it on direct request, but not sibling one. Is there any way to disable this "siblings forwarding" feature?
