Fixes: #1725. - Show multiple Wi-Fi devices in separate tables so that users can pick them understanding what they are. Also avoids some confusion related to why APs are duplicated. - Request scanning if the last scan time was long ago. - Show the last scanned time. - Refresh page in 10 seconds if scan has been requested so that the results of scan can be shown without user explicitly refreshing the page. Show spinner when scan has been requested and we are awaiting results. - Refresh page every 60 seconds in other cases. - When an SSID can't be decoded into a string, don't show it. - Don't show hidden networks with no SSID set. - Improve the styling for signal strength. - Show a message when no Wi-Fi devices are present. - Show a message when no Wi-Fi networks are found for a device. Tests: - Test on a machine with Wi-Fi device available. - When page is loaded is for the first time, spinner is shown and refresh happens in 10 seconds. After refresh if the scan has not completed, again, spinner is shown and page is reloaded in 10 seconds. Otherwise, spinner is not shown and page is reloaded in 60 seconds. - Hidden networks are not shown. - On a machine with no Wi-Fi devices, 'No Wi-Fi device detected.' message is shown. - Clicking on a network takes us to new Wi-Fi network connection page with 'connection name', 'network interface' and SSID filled in correctly.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.

To have a running FreedomBox, first install Debian (Buster or higher) on a clean machine. Then run:
$ sudo apt install freedombox
Full instructions are available on FreedomBox Manual's QuickStart page.
For instructions on running the service on a local machine from source code, see INSTALL.md. For instructions on setting up for development purposes, see HACKING.md.
