Mmm.... in supplicant_send_network_config() there's the following excerpt:
/* Use "AP_SCAN 2" if:
* - The wireless network is non-broadcast or Ad-Hoc
* - The wireless driver does not support WPA (stupid drivers...)
*/
is_adhoc = (nm_ap_get_mode(ap) == IW_MODE_ADHOC);
if (!nm_ap_get_broadcast (ap) || is_adhoc || !supports_wpa)
ap_scan = "AP_SCAN 2";
For all other cases NM seems to be using ap_scan = 1. Is there a reason why
ap_scan = 2 is not used more extensively, then?

Could you elaborate on what this will show, for my enlightenment (and of other
interested people, maybe)?
