Luis, Arjan's bug is actually indicative of a driver bug, he told me
that he actually runs into driver message like "cannot set TX power
while scanning", and it's fixed by setting WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY for
some reason. Arjan, do you still have the actual messages you get when
it fails? That's a separate bug we should address, rather than relying
on it not happening with the old regulatory setting.
