[Bug 38752] Re: [Bug 38752] Re: bcm43xx does not associate unless "iwlist scan" is invoked.

[Ivan Matveich]

I commented out the "up iwlist scan" line and rebooted; the interface
is non-functional as expected. Requested output is (I cross my
fingers) attached.

BTW: I've since reconfigured my interfaces to run at rate 11M; ignore
that discrepancy.
