But in an ad-hoc network there is the possibility to set bssid with kamikaze?

iwpriv wl0 set_bss_force 1
iwconfig wl0 ap ${bssid}

root@WRT54G:~# iwpriv wl0 set_bss_force 1
wl0       no private ioctls.


Is this not supported on all platforms or does some specific option need to be set at compile time?

The discussion might have continued from here.
