Comment:
We were encountering similar problems with a station cycling through a
hand full of different cell IDs, all of which were no longer existent
because the other hosts already merged.
After some code tracking it looks like ieee80211_recv_mgmt() doesn't
update the cell ID in the ieee80211_node structure of already known hosts,
so if they change their cell, it goes undetected and merging fails.
I'm attaching a patch which copies everything from a beacon frame to the
related ieee80211_node. This seems to fix our problems, I'd like to hear
if it helps you or burns down your house ;)
