<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By default passive scanning is supported in
wpa_supplicant. Where in it listens on all the channels for beacon
frames.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Active scanning is not supported (Not sure), where
in it will send probe request to AP ssid.</FONT></DIV>
