If the station is doing active scanning, you could see it before
authentication, _if_ you would have access to Probe Requests. Alas,
Intersil STA firmware for Prism2 does not pass those frames to host
system in Host AP mode.

Please make a unified diff of the changed and send it to me (and cc: to
mailing list). If you are using anonymous CVS access, you can do this
with 'cvs diff -uNp' (if not, use 'diff -uNpr hostap.orig hostap').

Please note that I'm trying to release the next version of the Host AP
code at some point, so I try not to add new features to CVS tree at the
moment. I will queue any contributed code and go through it after
getting the next release out.
