Yes.

What's the usage for 'any' in all the added calls?  What would the flow
look like when using 'any' instead of a real BSSID?  I tend to think we
should probably use ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff there instead of 'any' since it
really should be a MAC address.  But does the normal config file stuff
accept 'any' for those options?
