wpa_supplicant 0.6.9 - multiple APs, same ESSID

Here's the problem, I have a network of multiple APs with same ESSIDs, it uses PEAP/MSCHAPV2. Some of them work bad, some don't work at wall. I used to solve this problem like this:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Connecting to network..."

#connect
ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 ap 00:11:22:33:44:55
wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
sleep 5
dhcpcd ath0

echo "We get signal!"

This would actually choose the AP with the MAC 00:11:22:33:44:55. But with new version of wpa_supplicant, this is just overriden. It chooses the one with the strongest signal, not the specified one. Is there a solution to this or should I just revert to 0.5.11 which works fine?

Re: wpa_supplicant 0.6.9 - multiple APs, same ESSID

you could try setting

bssid=11:22:33:44:55:66

in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
