ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the way mac80211 currently implements the scan complete callback and we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted. The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor. Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor after going offchannel. This means that after one background scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really oddly. This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there *may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of work since this patch relies on the new mac80211 flag IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which was introduced as of 2.6.36.
