I think this is the expected behavior unless your hw supports background
scanning (try ifconfig ath0 bgscan, if it gives "SIOCS80211: Invalid
argument" then it doesn't :-).

You can use
ifconfig ath0 list scan
to get the latest scan result without initiating a new scan.

Note that the 'scan' command given as non-root user is the same as the
list scan --> a normal user won't be able to cause the disconnection by
issuing a 'scan' command.

Hope this helps,
