I have nothing against raising the timeout, but two general 
questions.

First thing: why does the adapter get's resetted?  Even if a 
whole scan takes 11 seconds, the scan of one channel takes less. 
So if results trickle in during these 11 seconds, nothing should 
get resettet.

Second thing: why should the association get's cleared if the 
adapter get's reset?  Isn't one a (assoc) at protocol level and 
the other (adapter) a hardware thing?
