-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
This patch fixes a bug in net80211/ieee80211_wireless.c preventing the
user from setting a certain BSSID by "iwconfig athX ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX".
It furthermore prevents merging to another IBSS in ad-hoc mode if a BSSID
was set previously by the above command.
It was tested with the snapshot madwifi-ng-r1696-20060730.
Background: Sticking to a fixed BSSID in adhoc mode turned out to be
crucial for the Freifunk mesh network (www.olsrexperiment.de) hardware AP,
which sometimes got carried away to wrong BSSID.
