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

Browse source 
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.
