Hah hah, I had forgotten that one altogether :) I don't think we want
to take that route, that is enabling workarounds for APs based on
BSSID. That's going to be a maintainance nightmare in the long run, at
least in my opinion.

We should have one A032 in our office somewhere, I'll try to find it
and see how b43 works with it.

(For others wondering what we are talking about: Nokia 770/N800/N810
products enable long slot time when associating to Nokia A032 AP to
workaround a bug in the AP.)
