I think instead we should have an enable-beacon flag that we disable
before scanning, and then re-enable after scanning like here. That way,
we also don't need any extra code in the driver to stop beaconing before
scanning, and it generally helps too when userspace deletes the beacon
we stop beaconing in a controlled fashion.

The best way is probably to add a conf flag like CONF_PS and a change
flag for this, what do you think?
