This doesn't play well at all with hardware assisted scan as far as I
can tell.

Correct. The patch only adapts software scan code. The hardware
assisted scan is not touched at all but should also not be affected
in an odd way.

I would guess that some firmwares support similar scanning in
hardware. In the future we might add support for background scanning
in hardware with a flag in hw_scan(), or something like that.

I don't want to see this implemented without taking into account hw scan
offload from the start.
