[WLANware] WLC_SET_BSSID in adhoc mode on Broadcom

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hi,

I doubt, that this is the case. The original Fixed-BSSID-Hack is made by me 
and I have only hacke a specific wl.o wireless driver module (needs correct 
binary offsets). Hence it works only if you have a) the same kernel module, 
b) a patched verion of the wl_compat.o module and the necessary hacks in 
/sbin/wifi to activate the hack. Just check this:

f4454baba83a8076f4c91d777f5ff60b  /lib/modules/2.4.30/wl.o

[X] need to re-publish the details (requires digging in deep dirt)

hi,

I also dont know how but it works with the Luci freifunk-kamikaze [1] 
package!
Very cool !
Today i downloaded the precompiled kamikaze image for broadcom devices [2] 
and
flashed it onto my buffalo.  After configuring the bssid using the web
interface, the buffalo associated correctly with the berlin bssid
