I don't think it does, and this is something I asked Mohamed to add to
wpa_supplicant. All the supplicant drivers somehow fill the driver capabilities
max_scan_ssids, but this is not exported.

That's right.

Hmm, I didn't think about it. But if sending an active broadcast probe request
on a channel is as fast as sending the same probe request with an SSID set,
then it's definitely worth it.
