Heh. I'm not sure what the desired behaviour is, if you do that scan
we'll give you everything we found but will scan actively for that
particular SSID. The man page (sigh) only says:

              This command take optional arguments, however most drivers  will
              ignore  those.  The  option essid is used to specify a scan on a
              specific ESSID. The option last do not trigger a scan  and  read
              left-over scan results.

Which isn't quite clear, but seems to match what we do. Maybe iwlist
should filter it?
