Looks like the driver can not autodetect the bandwidth. You could try
to scan channels starting from a manually entered channel. (Including
manually picking the bandwidth and maybe other transmission parameters)
The scanner should then pick up the other channels from the transmitted
metadata on the first channel.

PS: Google hints that this might be a bug in the current driver, see:
