Well, I will answer to myself if this is of interest for anyone...

Based on my experience (i.e. I don't have solid prooves for that), 
scanning with the wireless tools should be performed with the following 
setup :
mode: Managed
essid: any
encryption: off

Otherwise you might not be able to discover some networks.
