[PATCH 03/18] ipw2200: generates a scan event after a scan has completed

[Zhu Yi <yi.zhu@intel.com>]

The patch make ipw2200 generate the scan event every time a scan has
completed, so that user space know when to get fresh results.
Dan Williams would like to go towards this model in Network Manager
rather than having to poll.
