found a configuration on wpa_supplicant source

`

 * disable_scan_offload - Disable automatic offloading of scan requests
 *
 * By default, %wpa_supplicant tries to offload scanning if the driver
 * indicates support for this (sched_scan). This configuration
 * parameter can be used to disable this offloading mechanism.
 */
int disable_scan_offload;

`

by setting this to 1 in the config file, the manual scans work normally.
If there is a scan going on already, FAIL-BUSY is returned

Hello @qojote,

May I ask you to open a new thread for this question?
Not sure if it is related to the question you asked on here?
