They are required by wpa_ctrl UNIX control socket clients to be notified about new scan results (eg. wpa_gui), i *think*. iirc, there is a launchpad bug for this too, i did patch wpa_supplicant as per that bug to reduce the priority level of the scan-results event to debug level, and wpa_gui seemed to fail to refresh scan results. Maybe there is a way to special escape them from being logged, while still serving purpose. Need to be forwarded upstream for discussion i guess.
