Hello, First of all, sorry for my previous double posting of the same message. There was something wrong with my email client. I further investigated the problem and discovered that the scanning process is not started because wpa_supplicant times-out on a netlink socket. Strace shows me that there is a timeout on a pselect call with EAGAIN (http://pastebin.com/8WmjMWip). For reference I also attach lsof output (http://pastebin.com/y5497b96). Could someone help me to identify what is the expected input for this socket and why the socket times out? What is really interesting is that a kill -1 on the wpa_supplicant process determines a reconfiguration and the and the scanning process is started (http://pastebin.com/QmmHTsmV).
