I know that something working needs to get shipped soon, but at some
point here we need to push back against upstream drivers to make them
clean up their stuff...  Everything else seems to work OK with ap_scan =
2 (which is essentially just 'iwconfig ath0 essid foobar', and should
make the driver trigger a scan internally).  I wonder why madwifi needs
it's own toys and can't just share like the rest of the children.
