At leats ont he N770, N800, N810 (and I assume on the N900) direct scanning for WLAN AP trhough kernel interfaces was not possible, because the driver could not handle multiple scans. You have to call the (undocumented) dbus interface of the daemon responsible for handling WLAN connections to get a list of APs togetehr with some information.

Take a look at the sources of WifiInfo for an example how to do this.
