You can't do this generally - the hardware cannot do general purpose 
scanning.
For various technical reasons - there are hundreds of channels,
and the modem can be tuned to only one, amongst others.

Also, for legal reasons the software which runs on the modem chipset
will not support this. This software is completely seperate from the
application softwae - maemo/meego.

You would need to break the signature algorithm in the modem code
signing, reverse engineer the interfaces, and then binary patch
the modem code to add this functionality.

Distributing this code - in the UK - for example - would then be
a criminal act - once it's first used to do criminal acts, and
you've been notified of this.
'manufacturing' this code for the first time would be a seperate
offence.

In short - find another platform where it can be done.
