Please check if the "SCAN TYPE=ONLY" command that Dan mentions works for
your use case. That's already used on Android to do exactly what you
describe here as far as I can tell.

If there is other use cases that needs this separate configuration
parameter, I might accept it. That said, this would need to be rebased
on top of the hostap.git master branch since almost none of this applies
as-is. I would also drop the #ifndef CONFIG_NO_ROAMING/#endif lines to
keep the source code cleaner. Saving couple of bytes in binary if
CONFIG_NO_ROAMING is defined (which is something I would not recommend
defining) is not sufficient justification for making the implementation
more complex.
