How could this be in the "middle of association"? This is in
disassociation event handler, so obviously there is not supposed to be
an ongoing association at the time. Or is the driver doing something
strange like starting a new association automatically? If so, that
driver needs to be fixed or if that behavior needs to be supported, a
net driver capability advertisement is needed to be added to indicate
such behavior. Just delaying a scan request here by 400 ms does not make
any sense to me and is just making all other cases take more time at the
cost of whatever specific design this was trying to work around.
