Periodic scanning and larger beacon timers.

I'm currently using an AP with beacon timer of 240.  I believe this is
beyond the normal dwell time for passive scans, and what I'm seeing is
that occassionally, wpa_supplicant gets into a state where it scans every
5 seconds but doesn't ever find the AP.

Any opinions on adding some randomization to the scan timers so that
they cannot get stuck in a dead zone between beacons?

Thanks,
Ben
