This patch cleanup the fixed BSSID handling, that ieee80211_sta_set_bss=
id() works like ieee80211_sta_set_ssid(). So that the BSSID is only a s=
econd selection criterion besides the SSID. This allows us to create ne=
w IBSS networks with fixed BSSIDs, which was broken before.
In the second version of this patch the handling of the stupid merges t=
o the same BSSID is moved out to get reworked into an other patch.

This is based on the patch I had to revert? I'm going to drop this
one and wait for you to repost, just to avoid confusion.
Thanks,
