Good, thanks, I'll respin without the extra loop and some cleanups. Or
actually, I should do that as a separate patch now that you've tested
it.

Hm, not really. You could create a monitor interface with iw
(git.sipsolutions.net), something like
# iw phydev wmaster0 interface add moni0 type monitor

and then capture on the master interface and see if there are any probe
responses. Also, can you test software scan for the second problem? If
it doesn't occur with software scan and you don't see any beacons/probe
responses on the monitor for those access points you're missing, then I
can't help you.
