Hello All

I just testing the "prism2_param wlan0 dump 1" command. From the kernel 
log i have found that A1,A2,A3 mac address are ok but A4 address (from 
non WDS packets)seems as random generated number. So, anyone know for 
what is used this random A4 address ?

BTW when i watching a TX dump it seems that A4 mac address is used only 
for wds connections, othervise its zero filled
