Sorry for the noise, Simon, here is the reply to _all_ recipients:

Hi Simon,

thanks for your quick response.

No need for censorship, I did some quick tests and stripped down my
wpa_supplicant.conf to a single entry.  With this configuration I get a
lot of traces:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
	frequency=2412
	group=TKIP
	key_mgmt=NONE
	mode=1
	pairwise=NONE
	ssid="Nokia_n9"
}

I will also attach a dmesg output of my tests.

>  * your wpa_supplicant command line parameters when running

It is running with a wpa_cli like this:

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf \
    -W -B -i wlp4s0 -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlp4s0.pid
/usr/bin/wpa_cli -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.sh \
    -p /var/run/wpa_supplicant -i wlp4s0 -P /var/run/wpa_cli-wlp4s0.pid -B

Here at home (where rabbit and hedgehog say good night to each other ;-)
I get no scan results -- except when I am using WiFi Hotspot on my Nokia
N9 what I use the entry in the above config for.

In the office where we have Wi-Fi networks, I have to comment out
matching config entries to get the traces.

I hope that answers your question -- I am not very fluent in Wi-Fi
terminology.

I wished I could simply try to revert commit 3aede78aad2a7e to see if it
indeed is responsible but a simple revert failed.  If you want me to, I
could try to do that manually or whatever you might think helps to
ensure that we look at the proper commit.

Thanks,

Dirk
