--- Comment #4 from Andriy Voskoboinyk <avos@freebsd.org> ---
That's how it should work - see description of 'chanlist' and 'channel'
ifconfig(8) parameters.

Since the NIC is locked to the particular channel and there are no other wlans
on this channel nearby the scan list is empty.

The 'list scan' displays scan results that were cached from the previous scan;
since 'ifconfig wlan0 channel -' removes limitations and new scan is triggered
the cache will be non-empty - that's why the workaround 'works'.
