I'm seeing some variability. 

nmcli device wifi rescan
nmcli device wifi list

on three different machines give different lists. The most complete is the 
Lenovo laptop. Different chip sets and locations. 

The equivalent 'netsh wlan show networks' on the Windows laptop shows 7. 
The ones with the signal strength below 40 come and go. netsh doesn't show 
signal strength or the BSSID. I don't know if there are additional flags 
for that or to do a rescan.
