In my setup data transfer stalls when there's data transmission during scan. After some testing I found out that using background scan when connected to makes the problem go away. This is more like a workaround than a proper fix, but as the stall is so severe the workaround is justified. With a dual band card this increases scan time when connected from 1.9s to 4.4s. When not connected the scan time is not affected and is the same 1.9s.
