iOS 5 it is possible to scan the network list using private API on a jailbroken device only. This blog post states the following:

Last year Apple has blocked wifi scanners from App Store, however till iOS5 it was still available for private usage via WiFiManager bundle.

In iOS5, WifiManager bundle no more exists however 80211 functions are still available via IPConfiguration bundle.

The API you linked provides an open-source tool Stumbler which seems like something you were seeking. The tool is claimed to work under iOS 5.
