It seems it is necessary to set WILC MAC address after operation mode,
otherwise the MAC address of the WILC MAC is reset back to what is in
nvmem. This causes a failure to associate with AP after the WILC MAC
address was overridden by userspace.
Test case:
"
ap$ cat << EOF > hostap.conf
interface=wlan0
ssid=ssid
hw_mode=g
channel=6
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=pass
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
EOF
ap$ hostapd -d hostap.conf
ap$ ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1
"
"
sta$ ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
sta$ wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase ssid pass)
sta$ ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.2
sta$ ping 10.0.0.1 # fails without this patch
"
AP still indicates SA with original MAC address from nvmem without this patch:
"
nl80211: RX frame da=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff sa=60:01:23:45:67:89 bssid=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
