Maybe mac80211 should have a "grace period" of 0.5 seconds or so to
allow other settings to be set before the scanning starts? The same
applies to other events causing scanning, such as bringing up the
interface. It's too short to be noticeable, yet long enough for the
next command to run even on slow systems.
I think setting the key should not cause reassociation if there is an
association. It can break some schemes where the WEP key changes
periodically on both sides.
