Most modern wireless drivers support the scan function (airo, hostap, orinoco v15, prism54, atmel_cs, wl3501, madwifi, ipw2x00, acx100, poldhu, at76c503, adm8211... - check my Howto). Unfortunately, the implementation is highly dependant on the hardware itself, and each hardware has it's own way. Chipset which are "softer" require more work. A good example of harder MAC is airo/orinoco, for softer MAC check madwifi. Good luck...
