I have exactly the same issue as described at https://groups.google.com/group/controlplane-support/browse_thread/thread/eb88a193e18fc3d0/a75de32ff0373a8c or my MacBook Air.

Also, I'm getting exactly the same symptoms when clicking on "Wi-Fi" in System Information.app or by running "airport -s" (however, airport utility for some reason does this scan much more faster, so instead of missing ping packets or lost network due to re-authentication timeout, I'm getting just 200-300 msec delays)

So I believe this issue is cased by scan. But, frankly, in my case I don't need all available WLANs as evidence, I need only WLAN I'm currently associated with. And it's (B)SSID might be obtained without scanning environment.

Is that possible to provide another evidence source, called, i.e., 'WLAN', which will just check what (B)SSID I'm associated with now?

Thank you.
