Hi,

Yes. As I said, the whole "configure an alternate MAC" thing isn't
very consistent and I'm sure that the whole migration to VAP
interfaces made some of the MAC BSSID and local ethernet card address
programming "inconsistent."

If you want to take a look at whta's in the card:

* add ATH_DIAGAPI, AH_DEBUG, ATH_DEBUG to your kernel, recompile
* compile up src/tools/tools/ath/
* use athregs -i athX , look at the BSS and MAC registers to see what
address it has configured.

I bet htose aren't "right"..
