Even though I already had it this way in my startup scripts it wouldn't work. I changed the driver back to the one your referring to from your website: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187 and now it's working. I was using the rtl8187 driver from the latest wireless git tree. Thanks Hirte! Even though I already had it this way in my startup scripts it wouldn’t work.

However, once you also change the hardware MAC and use that as BSSID, everything should be back to normal. Hirte Hey,
