Try this and see if you get the same result:
$ while : ; do iwconfig ath0|grep 'Freq' ;sleep 1; done
I get:

The frequencies indicate that this is an 802.11n scan. I suspect it is
being initiated by wpa_supplicant because running wpa_supplicant with
the '-ddd' option provides this at the same time the 802.11n scan
happens:

To have the wireless cut out for 6-7 seconds is really painfull...
