Ok, the difference must be changes I made to the scanning state machine.
That patch was fairly big, and did several different things.  I have split
it up into 4 separate patches to try to narrow down where the problem was
introduced.

Can you try these firmware images in order and let me know the first
that fails to do DFS properly?  The scan-1 should be white-space and
debugging only, so hopefully it works.

firmware-2-community-scan1.bin
firmware-2-community-scan2.bin
firmware-2-community-scan3.bin
firmware-2-community-scan4.bin
