Instead of using full power when scanning, use
full power when off-channel. This is different
since off-channel can be remain-on-channel.

What if we are scanning on our current channel?  Shouldn't
it be full-power then as well?

Arguable. If we're on the channel that the AP explicitly told us to use
less power on, and we're not stopping normal traffic, then I'm not sure
we should.

Well, if you are scanning, you might be wanting to find other APs that
perhaps require full power to reach, so it seems to me it should scan
at full power...

Thanks,
Ben
