Alex - this patch turns off scans while an A/B/G card is associated to an AP. That means whatever was in the scan list when the connection was started is all that the nm-applet (or the nm=-ool) will show you, for the duration of that association - it won't update by itself. Of course, a superuser can issue "iwlist scan" manually, and the scan list will be refreshed at that point.
If you're in a situation like mine, where there's only one AP that you can actually use, it doesn't matter. If you're in an environment with overlapping coverage from multiple APs, and you're walking around from one area to another, you may lose connectivity until you manually rescan.
