It doesn't happen with Intel 3495 abg (wlan0) when 802.11n is turned off but will happen if 802.11n is active for other wifi adapters. It happens with RTL2800 bgn (wlan1), BCM43526 ac+gn (wlan2), Intel Centrino 6235 bgn (wlan3) and now with RTL 3072 bgn (wlan4).
Very aggravating, especially since since I don't know what CTRL-EVEN- SCAN-STARTED is and if I need on every minute instead of once a day. I might pick up an Atheros wifi adapter soon but I'll bet my favorite laptop sticker it'll have the same grief with 802.11n. And NO I'm not turning off 802.11n because I like seeing "Bit Rate:115.Mb/s" on my Conky display instead of "54 Mb/s". Could a kernel developer or network-manager programmer not give some advise to these many posts littering the netosphere please? Don't even get me started ranting about 802.11ac...
