Even though this looks like a fixed bug in current subversion repository,
I wanted to report this so that others don't have to waste a day like I
did.
In an environment with lots of SSIDs/APs, tools that are based on wireless
extensions (iwlist, wpa_supplicant) will report a significantly less
number of SSIDs than that are in the environment.
If you use wlanconfig ath0 list scan, you will see all the APs/SSIDs that
are in the environment.
This was true when running a vanilla madwifi 0.9.2 that was distributed as
an at.rpm:

When I built a new madwifi using the latest subversion repository, this
was no longer a problem and I got the same number of APs/SSIDs with iwlist
and wlanconfig.
