So, the "ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 103, len 128]: Device not configured"
error doesn't appear anymore, but wpa_supplicant still doesn't leave
status SCANNING....

I also see these messages on the console while bringing up the
interface, maybe related?

May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 1
May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 3
May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 4
May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: fatal firmware error
May 20 11:34:36 gahrtop kernel: wpi0: timeout resetting Rx ring

Otherwise, same thing... no voice from wpa_supplicant after:

No suitable AP found.
Setting scan request: 0 sec 0 usec
Starting AP scan (broadcast SSID)

The strange thing is that:

| sudo ifconfig wlan0 list scan
SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE   S:N     INT CAPS
NETGEAR         00:09:5b:a8:53:f4   11   11M  28:0    100 Ec
ZyXEL           00:19:cb:14:f4:ed   13   54M   1:0    100 ES   WME

| sudo ifconfig wlan0 scan
[wait here forever...]

How does the interface know about stations in range if it cannot scan?
