Hmm, I think a local setting should override some broadcasted 
setting *IF* this cannot be used for some kind of 
denial-of-service-attack on links farther away.

But if the AP says "I'm 20 km away from you", but you *KNOW* that 
you're only 100 m fromt he AP, you should be able to override 
this --- again, if this wouldn't harm the operation of another 
device which is really 20 km away.
