This may be a bit problematic since I'm not sure whether drivers in
general would guarantee the signal level in scan results to be matching
with the one used for signal quality events. Use of the shorter interval
here is done on purpose to be safer.

Are you sure wpa_s->current_bss != NULL here? I think it should be the
case, but I have not verified whether there could be a code path that
gets here without that being the case (e.g., with ap_scan=2).
