I'm using 64-bit kernel with 64-bit userspace.

If I use 32-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace, essid filtering works, but
only to a degree.  Old scan results are cached somewhere, so if I scan
with essid and then without essid, I get filtered results.  Likewise, If
I don't use filtering the first time, but use it the second time, I get
unfiltered results.

I cannot imagine how this bug could have evaded even most basic testing.

I would prefer that we don't merge unreliable functionality.  It's not
needed for WPA support.  And it don't look like and improvement in its
present form.
