dstumbler uses WI_RID_SCAN_REQ to initiate a scan for AP's.  This required
the application know whether it was talking to a prims/wavelan/symbol card
so was replaced by WI_RID_SCAN_APS which provides a device-independent
interface.  I changed wicontrol to deal with this; it would be good if
dstumbler did likewise.  Otherwise I can look at adding a backwards
compatibility entry for WI_RID_SCAN_REQ.
