Could this be a workaround for my bug as well (disconnects caused by
scan while associated)? I get the following log entries:

I isr_status_change Scan detected while associated, with no scan
request.  Restarting firmware. 
I schedule_reset wifi0: Scheduling firmware restart (0s). 
I isr_status_change Status change: IPW_STATE_SCANNING 
I isr_indicate_scanning Scanning... 
U ipw2100_reset_adapter : wifi0: Restarting adapter. 
U ipw2100_power_cycle_adapter Power cycling the hardware.

I only have 1 AP, though.
