Thanks! This is similar to what I planned on doing for ap_scan=2 mode
(for bugzilla bug 16). However, your patch has couple of issues that
make it fail in some cases. last_prio_scan would have been shared by
multiple interfaces if wpa_supplicant is controlling more than one
radio. In addition, it did not seem to scan all network blocks if more
than one block was sharing the same priority value.

I ended up using the same code that scan_ssid=1 had for iterating
through the networks. This means that ap_scan=2 will not use the
priority field; instead the order of network blocks in the file is used
to select which network to "scan for". In other words, this would match
with the order that ap_scan=1 mode use if all networks were using
scan_ssid=1 and APs were configured to use hidden SSIDs. These changes
are now in CVS.
