According to this:

  
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html

29.3.3.1.1 How to Find Access Points

"To scan for networks, use the ifconfig command. This request may take a
few moments to complete as it requires that the system switches to each
available wireless frequency and probes for available access points."

and:

"Note: You must mark the interface up before you can scan. Subsequent scan
requests do not require you to mark the interface up again."

If I do:

  # ifconfig -v ath0 down
  # ifconfig -v ath0 up scan

I get results in a jiffy.  But any subsequent:

  # ifconfig -v ath0 scan

never returns :(

Is there something I'm missing?  Is there a better way?
