If this works for the others too, I would propose the following patch. Without it, e.g. the beacon messages in IBSS mode are broken, if you set a fixed BSSID.
(The iwl4965 low level driver sends back an error code, if you want to set a fixed BSSID, so I think, we should simply ignore it, as it will be tried the next time when the initiated new network join is complete.)
Regards
Alina
