seems to be a bug if you are somewhere where there are zero APs visible. please verify if using killswitch to turn off wifi completely halpes. If that helps, also verify that this assert doesnt happen anymore if there are APs visible in your area.

My results:

Unloading the wifi card module: no crash.

Module loaded; rfkill switch activated: nm-applet crashes. The switch only seems to disconnect the radio without telling the driver, though. All the driver knows is that there are no scan results.

Module loaded, no rkfill, networks available: no crash.

I can confirm that if I switch off my wifi, there is no crash.
