Also from what I have read, every scan drops your connection for a while, which might be a problem for bad wifi drivers, where the scan can take 15+ seconds so doing this more often is not a good idea. Other thing I would change is to try to repeat the scan if it fails only for the first time (when you open the applet), then I don't think it's necessary to keep spamming NetworkManager with our requests.
  
  
  Everyone using 15 seconds for a timeout doesn't mean it's good for the users... Anyways, why shouldn't we be doing an attempt every 2 seconds? that's not a lot. I could do two things instead:
  
  - double the interval between attempts every time they fail
  - Only run the UI timer when the scan request has been successful
