Currently wifi API returns available network list and known network(has been connected before) list separately, and Gaia implements WifiHelper.getAvailableAndKnownNetworks() [1] to combine two lists as scan result.
I think this can be done by checking if a known network is also an available network in that function, and show the result in the settings app.
