Kalle, I suspect that your beacon offload will require something like
holding on to BSS structs too, is that correct?
My current solution is just to disable beacon filtering (and power save) whenever we are scanning. That way beacon filtering doesn't interfere scanning in anyway.

That makes sense, but disabling beacons means that

	iwlist wlan0 scan last

will not show _any_ BSS while associated, but it should really show the
BSS we're associated to. This is the problem I was referring to.

Oh man, I wasn't even aware of this feature. So yes, my patches definitely need a way to hold bss structs. I need to study the implementation more before I can comment.
