--- Comment #6 from John Nielsen <john@jnielsen.net> ---
The "bssid" parameter does indeed work on 10-STABLE and 11-CURRENT (and
probably earlier?). I do seem to recall that the order of ifconfig paramete=
rs
makes a difference, though. Since opening this ticket I have changed my rc.=
conf
to have "bssid" at the beginning of the relevant lines instead of at the end
and it has been working fine for some time.

Excerpt from working rc.conf:
wlans_ath1=3D"wlan1 wlan3"
create_args_wlan1=3D"bssid wlanmode hostap mode 11g channel 1:ht/40+"
create_args_wlan3=3D"bssid wlanmode hostap mode 11g channel 1:ht/40+"

Excerpt from ifconfig output:
wlan1: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric =
0 mtu
1500
        ether 00:1b:b1:5d:XX:YY
wlan3: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric =
0 mtu
1500
        ether 06:1b:b1:5d:XX:YY

Note the difference in the first octet of the MAC address: '00' for wlan1 a=
nd
'06' for wlan3.

AFAIK this bug can be closed.
