I'm not sure how Ubuntu (if that's what you use) has implemented manual
mode, but it may not even have anything to do with NM.  Ubuntu has
patched NM to completely ignore interfaces that have an entry
in /etc/network/interfaces.

If just plain Debian, the static config stuff is stored
in /etc/network/interfaces and read into NM when NM starts up.

But again, you really do want to get your distro to apply the kernel
scan_capa patch.  That fixes your problem and makes your hack
unecessary, because then NM is able to _automatically_ determine whether
ap_scan should be 2 or 1.
