The original rtl8712 driver (from realtek's site) has what seems to be a special mode (mp_mode) complete with special ioctls, etc... which seems like it was designed with something like this in mind. However, I can't tell you if it works and what exactly it does and doesn't. So far, the best answer is: it might work. However it's also possible that you need a special firmware and/or a early FPGA/preproduction ASIC for this feature.

Other vendors are actively supporting their upstream drivers (and support is what you want, right?!). Even better, these drivers already provide advanced channel/site survey statistics and other important features like 5/ 10MHz channels, coverage class, ... you name it: they got it... Already! I'm sure - if you look around a bit - you can find a device which supports what you need "out of the box". Hint: Visit the wiki at [0].
