Minor bug, b43 not starting scanning automaticaly.

[Benoit Gschwind]

Hello,

I use the b43 for month on MacBook Pro retina 13" but the drive seems to
not enable scan at boot. I did not found why. The workaround is to run
iwlist scan, after that wireless is working, but not seems to scan
regularly.

I'm not sure if this is a driver issue or network manager issue but when
I use the proprietary driver, network manager work fine.

Ahh, I forgot about this issue. See
