[PATCH] Currently the DBus Interface.Scan API is counter-intuitive. It issues ProbeRequests when doing passive scans when channels are specified, and does not issue ProbeRequests for broadcast active scans.

[Daniel Kurtz]

This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:

 1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive'})
    Request:     Passive scan (all channels)
    Should be:   No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for all channels
    Previous:    1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both broadcast SSID and selected network (scan_ssid=1)
    This Patch:  --No change--: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both broadcast SSID and selected network (scan_ssid=1)

 2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
    Request:     Passive scan (1 channel)
    Should be:   No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1 channel (plus overlapping channels)
    Previous:    1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
    This Patch:  --Fixed--: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1 channel (plus overlapping channels)

 3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active'})
    Request:     Active scan with no SSIDs (all channels)
    Should be:   1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
    Previous:    No ProbeRequests;  passive scan results for all channels
    This Patch:  --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels

 4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
    Request:     Active scan with no SSIDs (1 channel)
    Should be:   1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
    Previous:    No ProbeRequests; Passive scan results for specified channel (plus overlapping channels)
    This Patch:  --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
