Android doesn't work well with upstream groups. They made their own ecosystem,
both in kernel-space and much more in user-space. They also usualy use
outdated software, e.g. ancient kernel version.
You're therefore encouraged to use android-specific mailing-lists or forums to
solve your problems.
That said, the interface isn't up, contrary to your belief:
V/WifiStateTracker( 969): Changing supplicant state: DISCONNECTED ==>
SCANNING
I//system/bin/wpa_supplicant( 1396): ioctl[SIOCGIWSTATS]: Operation not
supported on transport endpoint
I//system/bin/wpa_supplicant( 1396): ioctl[SIOCGIWRATE]: Network is down
So something in restarting the wifi link forgot Android's equivalent
of "ifconfig $interface up". If the interface isn't up, it won't scan. Without
current scan results and an "up"-interface, it cannot associate.
