Do you mean this?  With ap_scan=1, wpa_supplicant does the 
scanning & roaming. With ap_scan=2, the WLAN driver does it.

This is from wpa_supplicant's documentation:

--------------------------------------------------------

AP selection depends on ap_scan configuration:

ap_scan=1:

- %wpa_supplicant requests scan with SIOCSIWSCAN
- driver reports scan complete with wireless event SIOCGIWSCAN
- %wpa_supplicant reads scan results with SIOCGIWSCAN (multiple
  call if a larget buffer is needed)
- %wpa_supplicant decides which AP to use based on scan results
- %wpa_supplicant configures driver to associate with the 
selected BSS
  (SIOCSIWMODE, SIOCSIWGENIE, SIOCSIWAUTH, SIOCSIWFREQ,
   SIOCSIWESSID, SIOCSIWAP)

ap_scan=2:

- %wpa_supplicant configures driver to associate with an SSID
  (SIOCSIWMODE, SIOCSIWGENIE, SIOCSIWAUTH, SIOCSIWESSID)

--------------------------------------------------------

So, which ioctl from wpa_supplicant isn't Libertas?  And wouldn't 
it be an option to simply add this ioctl?  After all, an 
unmodified wpa_supplicant run's with a huge range of different 
cards via the -Dwext driver ...
