Sorry, for me that does NOT work, at least not fully. I have a Lenovo
laptop with a similar Broadcom chip, i.e. only non-free driver supports
it. Still getting lots of:

wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-22 retry=1

and nothing works, apart from getting the initial AP list.

However, this happens only with network-manager. Just for testing, I
configured a wpa_supplicant.conf manually and run wpa_supplicant
manually with that file, and also run dhclient manually. And I got
a working network connection!

So IMHO this might be somehow connected to network-manager.

Eduard.
