Hm, I'm not sure this hunk is correct.

What are we doing here?
b43 does only define one band (2.4GHz) currently. Is it possible that this code
selects the uninitialized 5GHz band structure?

+		    (local->scan_channel_idx >= sband->n_channels &&

 			ieee80211_scan_completed(local_to_hw(local));

If the above can happen, this would crash when using "chan".
