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.
