Hi Jirka,
Thank you for your response.

Hmm, I don't face such behaviour.
How do you call GetAccessPoints(), using dbus-send or other program/script?

I've created my own script. See below.
 

Are the ifcfg-AP and keys-AP files correct? What does /var/log/messages say?

The only message I can see there regarding NetworkManager is:

 Feb 10 16:21:27 panini NetworkManager: supplicant_interface_acquire: assertion `mgr_state == NM_SUPPLICANT_MANAGER_STATE_IDLE' failed
...
Feb 10 16:27:24 panini NetworkManager: supplicant_interface_acquire: assertion `mgr_state == NM_SUPPLICANT_MANAGER_STATE_IDLE' failed

Empty list could mean that wireless is off. Check
/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state. How did you stop nm-applet?

 
[main]
NetworkingEnabled=true
WirelessEnabled=true
I just restarted my computer and logged in  in text mode.
I ran this code and got an empty dbus list.

Jirka

nm = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager')
devices = nm.GetDevices(dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager')


for path in devices:
 device = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', path)
 device_props = dbus.Interface(device, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties')
 props = device_props.GetAll("org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device")


 if props["DeviceType"] == NM_DEVICE_TYPE_802_11_WIRELESS:
    break

access = device.GetAccessPoints(dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device.Wireless')
print str(access)
