If a driver/hardware don't, it cause= s other problems. For example ("iwconfig wlan0 essid new_ibss") if the = sync isn't done before the first beacon is send and the TSF of the old = IBSS-Network was higher the the TSF of the new one, so the all nodes of= the new network now sync to the higher TSF of the old network.
