Quick search of SIOCGIWSCAN with Google Code Search
(http://www.google.com/codesearch) shows quite large set of uses. Most
of them are from various drivers, but at least some (e.g., Xsupplicant,
waproamd) are from user space applications. I did not actually verify
whether any of these would be affected by the 64/32-bit issue, but I
would assume some of the apps are indeed parsing the scan results with
internal implementation.
