 I can confirm this bug with a Prism3 chipset and FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE.
 
 The relevant dmesg output is:
 wi0: <Intersil Prism3> mem 0xe4006000-0xe4006fff irq 18 at device 11.0 on pci0
 wi0: [ITHREAD]
 wi0: using RF:PRISM3(Mini-PCI)
 wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.5.6)
 wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:8a:a0:8a:96
 
 "ifconfig wi0 up scan" will sometimes "complete" in a few seconds and
 sometimes take a few minutes but will never show any APs.
 
 An interesting aspect is that if I clear the ssid with "ifconfig wi0
 ssid -" and take the interface up and down repeatedly sometimes the
 ssid of one AP will show up in ifconfig, but there will still be "no
 carrier" (unfortunately I don't know how reproduce this effect
 reliably).
