Well, technically yes, but you will never, ever get that value because
scan results will never happen that quickly :)  I was going to write a
paragraph about why I wanted it u32, but in this case it doesn't matter
since the max last-seen value will never be > 240 or so.  So sure, lets
just make everything s32 and use -1 as the "never seen" value.

I fixed this up and squashed the branch.  Look OK?
