I definitely want to see this background scan support in Wireless
Extensions as well, otherwise it might prevent the real use of the
feature.

However, the more feature we keep stuffing into WEXT the less incentive
is there to actually do something about cfg80211. I'm with Luis here,
the fact that there are no tools anywhere is because those tools aren't
really very useful yet, not because it's not possible to get the tools
in.

I understand yours and Luis' points. But I still think that we should
push cfg80211 acceptance first with the argument of more reliable
method of configure 80211 devices, and only later start adding
cfg80211-only features.
