This is why hostapd will always use a mask that ends with the bits you
want and basically requires that you reserve the full MAC address space
for all matching BSSIDs to that station. I.E. hostapd will set the mask
to 0x3 (or is it ~0x3? you know what I mean) if you have three or four
BSSIDs and if you only have three it is assumed that the fourth is
unused.
