Remote access points not visible while local wifi configured as access point

[Stéphane Boucher <sboucher d-box com>]

It looks like NetworkManager purposely filters out remote access points while the local device is used as an access point?

 

“nmcli d wifi” only displays the local access point, even though “Iw dev wlan0 scan” does show remote access points.

 

I have a use case where I need to switch WIFI from AP to Client.   But that does not seem possible with NetworkManager.

 

Or is there a way to force NetworkManager to not filter out access points?

 

Thanks
