Yes. For ipw2200, if we didn't get a full scan result the first time, we
can reorder the scan->channels_list[] in the consecutive scan request to
make the "next channel to scan" be the first item and remove those
channels already scanned. We can get how many channels we have scanned
from the notify result notif_channel_result->channel->num.

Currently I'm getting stuck with other stuff. If anyone has time and
interest to implement this, that will be great.


P.S. We used to think the scan->full_scan_index will make the firmware
change the first channel it scans. But it turns out the firmware doesn't
by now.

Thanks,
