You can turn on net80211 debugging my setting sysctl
net.wlan.0.debug=0xffffffff (or use wlandebug). Kick off a scan and see
if anything is returned.

The ndis code uses a highly suspicious 2 second delay between issuing the
scan to the card and reading the results. It has always been like this
but the changes I have recently done put this in the same execution path.
Before it would return to the userland context and then read the
results, this probably gave the card a little more time to respond.

As a test you could bump up the wait time on the tsleep on line 3510 of
if_ndis.c
