Greg,
Thanks for your reply. Of course I sent only a part of the wlanctl =
results,
the part concerning this "strange" behaviour. I agree of course with =
your
definition of BSSID, but I still don't understand why wlanctl must =
report a
bssid address created from the mac address of this node. The real bssid
comes from another node:
ath0: mac 00:02:6f:20:f7:e7 bss 02:02:6f:20:f7:e7
node flags 0001<bss>
ess <TEST123>
chan 36 freq 5180MHz flags 0140<ofdm,5GHz>
capabilities 0402<ibss,short slot-time>
beacon-interval 100 TU tsft 5222517 us
rates [*6.0] 9.0 *12.0 18.0 *24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
