I don't like this.  It worries me.  What is the underlying cause?  If
it is something other than collision, why?

In scenario of tens to a hundred laptops scanning for specific SSID
for ad-hoc in the Sugar desktop environment, this patch may decrease
free air time considerably.

Should the number of probes be a choice of user space?
