Abstract
Techniques are provided for scanning for access points with a wireless communication device including a baseband processor and a WLAN processor. A data download command which defines a preferred network list can be sent from the baseband processor to the WLAN processor. In addition, a first scan command can be sent from the baseband processor which triggers the WLAN processor to independently begin periodically scanning a number channels.
