Hi,

I am using version 2.6.28 of the kernel and version 0.9.11-nogit of
iw.  Communications are disrupted and the device stops responding to
ping when I use the command "iwlist wlan0 scan".  Communications are
restored when the command completes.  Is this behavior expected?  Has
it been fixed in a later release?

Thanks for your help.
