Scan results from Marvell 8388 and 8686 have probe responses from hidden APs and OLPC XO-1 mesh with a zero length SSID IE. Bug in lbs_ret_scan discarded any remaining BSS in scan response, leading to user not seeing APs in dense environments. With LBS_DEB_SCAN, dmesg shows libertas scan: scan response: 5 BSSs (419 bytes); resp size 474 bytes libertas scan: scan: 00:1a:2b:84:de:e8, capa 0401, chan 1, qz, -51 dBm libertas scan: scan: 5c:63:bf:d8:eb:0c, capa 0411, chan 1, qw129, -23 dBm libertas scan: scan response: invalid IE fmt With LBS_DEB_HEX, dmesg shows valid BSS in scan response were not processed. Change is to ignore zero length IE and continue processing.
