            Bug ID: 246126
           Summary: bsdinstall fails to report wireless network scan
                    failure
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste at freebsd.org

attempting to use bsdinstall on an x220 reports "No wireless networks were
found. Rescan?" after 5s scan delay + a few more seconds

from another vty running "wpa_cli scan; sleep 5; wpa_cli scan_results" shows:
Selected interface 'wlan0'
OK
Selected interface 'wlan0'
'SCAN_RESULTS' command timed out.

It's not clear why ssid scan is failing, but in any case bsdinstall should
report that there was an error, not just that no networks were found.

Reproducible on my X220 on 12.1-RELEASE and most recent 13 snapshot as of May 2
2020.
