Hi,

I'm looking now for a better implementation for the IBSS fixed BSSID st=
uff, that handles the TSF sync correctly. I think now having centralize=
d IBSS join function ist more easy to maintain, as many little function=
s. This function can look in the environment for the current state, so =
that it can see what to do for the current join.

So I have moved all my fixed BSSID stuff in this centralized function, =
so that the TSF will be reseted, even if a fixed BSSID is set.

I will allow a channel change too, if you have a fixed BSSID but not a =
fixed channel setting. If there is a other IBSS network with the same B=
SSID but in an other channel.
Like now a BSSID change is allowed, if you set a fixed channel but not =
a fixed BSSID.
I think this would be a more clean and consistent implementation.

What do you think about it?
I will post a beta patch tomorrow.

Regards
Alina
