OpenWRT has shipped a patch since 2011 that allows it to perform a scan
in AP mode, whether it is supported by the driver or not. In certain
situations, it may be desirable to scan an interface that is currently
in AP mode regardless of whether frames are missed. The patch adds a
module parameter "allow_ap_scan" that, if set to true, allows the behavior
described above.

I must say - not really in favour of throwing around random module
parameters like that :)
