one more question about the same thing. i got my access point i wish
to use on a NWID that noone else uses. i specify this nwid using
ifconfig on my clients. however, as soon as i get a better signal from
another access point on a different NWID, my card switches, and my
clients lose their connecti

i guess you are right.

in a previous e-mail to misc, i said:
"there are three access points that i can pick up that have the same
ssid [nwid]. is there a way to specify the mac address [bssid]
of the access point i wish to use?"

Couple of thoughts:
* Do you really want a bssid, or are you just looking for a network ID
(nwid)? If you're just trying to create a hostap-style access point, no
need to bother with a bssid, just set the nwid.
* If you mean to set the bssid, are you sure your card is operating in
BSS mode?
