I switched to Lion soon after it came out on my MacBook Pro. Now when I pull down the airport menu, it indicates that it is searching for networks all the time. It does this even after I am connected to my preferred network. I never noticed this with Leopard nor Snow Leopard. Is this a bug? a feature? Should I care?

Best Answer
It's the refrigerator light problem. It's searching because you pulled down the Airport menu.
