-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

patch d20c678a450a25c1c12925f60c1b4cc040acc17d in mainline
ipw2100 wasn't sending WEXT scan events at all on scan completion. And
like ipw2200, the driver aggressively auto-scans, requiring
non-user-requested scan events to be batched together and sent at
specific intervals instead of many times per seconds.
