After studying the code some more, I'm confused by the comment for this code in rt2x00mac_add_interface(): * The BSSID address must only be configured in AP mode, * however we should not send an empty BSSID address for * STA interfaces at this time, since this can cause * invalid behavior in the device. On the contrary I think the BSSID needs to be configured for STA mode since it acts as a receive filter for broadcase/multicast frames. The 802.11 standard says in 7.2.2 Data frames: A STA uses the contents of the Address 1 field to perform address matching for receive decisions. In cases where the Address 1 field contains a group address, the BSSID also is validated to ensure that the broadcast or multicast originated from a STA in the BSS of which the receiving STA is a member. The ralinktech.com drivers seem to set the BSSID for STA mode and IBSS mode.
