[maemo-developers] Wifi scanning trouble

[From: Udayan Kumar]

Hi,

I am trying to scan the wireless channel using N800 ( os2008) for AP (Access
Points). I am using wireless-tools. I let "iwlist wlan0 scan" run in an
infinite loop with 150 sec sleep between the two scans.

The scan fails after some time (~10mins). I suspect that when device gets
disconnected from the AP, it powers down the wireless card and thus the
scanning fails. I am roaming with the device so its not possible for the
device to always have the association.

Is there a way to bypass the powering down of the card? or is there any
other method which can be used to scan the Access Points continously?

Thanks a lot !!
