Replying to [comment:1 Quozl]:
> If during this time another process asks for last scan results, the
return is delayed until the scan in progress completes.
This can cause the following command (as user ''olpc'') to pause with
wireless LED flashing before showing full scan results:
{{{
iwlist eth0 scan
}}}
... even though the real scan was requested autonomously by Network
Manager. This coincidence can lead a user to believe that a real scan was
requested by them.
