As far as I can tell, I need to feed that ap_scan = 2 parameter to
wpa_supplicant somehow.  Ideally, I'd like to do this via Network
Manager, which uses wpa_supplicant as a backend.

If I start monkeying around with /etc/network/interfaces, then nm
won't be able to manage the interfaces, which would kind of defeat the
purpose of using nm.

Looking at the wpa_supplicant docs, it seems that nm calls the
wpa_supplicant app via d-bus calls configured in the
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service
file.

^^ This page has given me a few more ideas.  I'll keep trying.
