bug 456 [REGRESSION 0.7.3-6 => 1.0-2] WPA-PSK + openmoko: unable to get DHCPACK

Hi,

I bisected this down to


commit 180cdf45a415969b851aab530e9b23606032941a

    wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds
    
    Some dualband cards can use more than five seconds to run through
    a full scan, so increase the timeout to avoid hitting the missing
    scan completed event workaround.

Here's the log for completeness:

Any idea what the _real_ issue here could be? Surely increasing timeout
should not cause regressions?
