Thanks, applied.

I haven't had a chance of testing this yet, but at least I'm now back in
state where I can build everything successfully :-). I will be traveling
next couple of weeks at IEEE 802.11 meetings and will be very unlikely
to test this any time soon (especially so, taken into account where the
meetings are this time.. getting two meetings on consecutive weeks and
on two Hawaiian islands is quite a nice combination ;-). Consequently,
it is probably best to just get this in now and we'll fix multi-BSS
things later, if needed.
