It prints the status,
iwn0: flags=8847<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 8c:70:5a:62:b7:f8

then there's a 30 second pause during which the led flashes, then ifconfig exits
without further output. Then I have to ifconfig iwn0 down, ifconfig iwn0 up,
and start dhclient again which has exited due to the interface state change
If I have previously set ifconfig iwn0 debug, when the scan is started I see
some beacon and probe_resp initially, then a bunch of "received beacon" (10 a
second or so) which continues after ifconfig exits until I down the interface.
dmesg below, fwiw (this is an x220). (I also need "down+up" if I use the
rf kill switch on my laptop).

If I'm going in somewhere new I tend to just use my phone to connect
and don't even bother starting up the laptop unless I particularly need
it (in which case I can copy the network name from the phone unless
it has awkward non-ASCII characters).

While I don't dispute that this behaviour is a bug, it doesn't seem
right for the script to be doing this, surely if you know the password
you should also know if wep is needed? It would seem safer generally
to only use the expected protocol.
Do you need a full reboot at this point, or does restarting the interface
(ifconfig down+up) work? Do you get anything interesting (look in
/var/log/messages) if "ifconfig iwn0 debug" is set?
