In the scan section of ieee80211softmac, network transmits are disabled. When SoftMAC re-enables transmits, it may override the wishes of a driver that may have very good reasons for disabling transmits. At least one failure in bcm43xx can be traced to this problem. In addition, several unexplained problems may arise from the unexpected enabling of transmits. Note that making this change introduces a new bug that would allow transmits for the current session to be transmitted on the wrong channel; however, the new bug is much less severe than the one being fixed, as the new one only leads to a few retransmits, whereas the old one can bring the interface down. A fix that will not introduce new bugs is being investigated; however, the current, more serious one should be fixed now.
