Alex - this patch turns off scans while an A/B/G card is associated to
an AP. That means whatever was in the scan list when the connection was
started is all that the nm-applet (or the nm=-ool) will show you, for
the duration of that association - it won't update by itself. Of course,
a superuser can issue "iwlist scan" manually, and the scan list will be
refreshed at that point.

If you're in a situation like mine, where there's only one AP that you
can actually use, it doesn't matter. If you're in an environment with
overlapping coverage from multiple APs, and you're walking around from
one area to another, you may lose connectivity until you manually
rescan.
