Under what circumstances would the BSSID be zero?

unassociated state for station.

but I observed this when i tested ad-hoc mode. I just started an ad-hoc mode creator and left it for some time with no one joining. i observed there are few frames in rx_tasklet of ath9k driver which seem to be beacons and their BSSID is '0', as our curbssid is also '0' they seem to be wrongly identified as 'my_beacons'. let me also verify it in STA mode and find the effect of this before sending it as a PATCH.
let me also check if it has any effect in ath9k_process_rssi and ath_rx_ps.
