Lucid uses 2.6.32 and the background scanning which I described
earlier is part of 2.6.32 so you should be OK on Lucid.

$ git describe --contains 142b9f5074dc0d09dc0025739ad437723d7bf527
v2.6.32-rc1~703^2~506^2~36

I would not recommend disabling scanning unless you let the user save
that as a preference as otherwise you would not be able to pick APs
while you move around. Eventually the supplicant will get roaming
support and you will need bg scans for this.
