Hello Marek,
Have you managed to set a static BSSID to all those chipsets - Atheros, Broadcom, Ralink etc? Because up to now, only Atheros made this trick possible.
If I managed to do that with the rt73 chipset that would be enough. But the driver guys seem to have no documentation stating if this is possible or not, and doing an iwconfig rausb0 ap <BSSID MAC> does not change anything :/.
best regards,

Hi,
I still wonder if setting up a static BSSID will stop the BSSIDselection algorithm from ocurring. What do you think? Have tested this in practice?
yes, it will deactivate the selection algorithm. We used this hack to get the Freifunk Berlin network stable. We had a real hardware zoo (Atheros, Broadcom, Ralink, etc) that was impossible to control without setting the BSSID.
Regards, Marek
