The second download fetched a new beacon from mac80211 instead of downloading the one the page already holds. Besides the extra work, every beacon fetch advances the DTIM count and, while a channel switch is announced, the CSA countdown; doing it twice per update lets a countdown that starts at 2 reach 0, which mac80211 warns about. Hand the beacon skb out of the page build and download that. The hw scan, which downloads the beacon without a page build, keeps fetching its own.
