Correct, 2.6.28 did *not* have the nullfunc TX fix, so if the scan lasts more than a few seconds, and the AP has traffic for the STA the TX will time out, and the AP may drop the STA during the scan. 2.6.29 was the first kernel that had the nullfunc TX fix. But the supplicant should still reconnect...
