Thanks Per, and can do -

Comparing to one of my systems with wicked and wifi - I have WIRELESS_AP_SCANMODE='1'
That sounds quite probable. From the man page Mode 0 means the driver performs the scan. Mode 1 means wpa_supplicant takes care of scanning. Mode 2 is basically the same as mode 0 but the access point gets chosen by security policy and SSID. This mode does not support multiple network settings. Default is 1 for most drivers. Usually scanning is controlled by network management programs. I wonder if there are any drivers that perform periodical scans automatically. And even if they do, what is the interval between these scans?
