Don't we update ifibss->bssid even if it's not fixed?

I guess we do, but can it really ever be zeroed? Or does that happen
when we haven't even joined yet? But in that case you'd pass a NULL
bssid into get_bss() which would return a random one ... shouldn't you
rather not do anything in that case? Like making the first condition

if (!active_ibss && !is_zero_ether_addr(ifibss->bssid)) {


and then never worry about the bssid again?
