Why would you want to do a conventional AP scan in monitor mode? If you just want to channel hop, you can directly call nl80211 to change the channel repeatedly. (Calling iwconfig is the worst idea, as iwconfig uses the old wext interface, which is then basically translated to nl80211 commands in the kernel, before being sent to the device/driver.) Also, you can always have a managed interface open in the background, and do scanning on that.
