ORBIT-USER: question about sample script.

[Sachin Ganu]

Hi Andrea
This message reports the BSSID of the network. For any two nodes to
communicate they need to be in the same BSSID.BSSID is usually the MAC
address of the interface that is the first one to create the network.
Other devices (of the same ESSID) simply join this network and retain
the BSSID heard from the beacons

Hope I have not confused you
