Indeed, it was quite suspicious to me also, so I did tried that with the
following MACs:

	bssid=c4:93:00:11:01:88
	bssid=c4:93:00:11:01:89
	bssid=c4:93:00:11:01:90

and it wasn't working for the first two, but now I did what you've suggested
and voilà, it works for all three! :) So the working setup is following:

	bssid=c4:93:00:11:01:88
	bssid=c4:93:00:11:01:89
	bssid=c4:93:00:11:01:8a

I don't see a pattern here, why it didn't worked with :88, :89, :90? Just the
last one :90 was working and :88, :89, :8a works fine. There need to be some
hole/spacing? Thanks a lot!
