I was investigating what appears to be the same issue on my T420 
Thinkpad and at least found a workaround (and perhaps a clue for where 
the bug could lie).

Are you using NetworkManager by chance? I stumbled across a Red Hat bug 
report[0] involving 'CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-22' and the proprietary 
broadcom driver. A comment there[1] describes a workaround for their 
issue, by making NetworkManager not randomise the MAC address during 
access point scans.

Adopting that workaround also works for my Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (rev 
3e). Create a config file /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwl.conf with contents:

[device]
match-device=driver:iwlwifi
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Then restart NetworkManager. Alternatively, downgrading wpa_supplicant 
(to 2.7-r3 on Gentoo ~amd64) also works for me.
