Cell BSSID stuck on card

even after a reboot my prismII card, when put in ad-hoc mode apperars to
be set on a non existent cell.

queneau:/home/leonardo/src/wpa_supplicant-0.3.8# ifconfig wlan0 up
queneau:/home/leonardo/src/wpa_supplicant-0.3.8# iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
queneau:/home/leonardo/src/wpa_supplicant-0.3.8# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"test"
          Mode:Ad-Hoc  Frequency:2.422 GHz  Cell: 02:09:D6:1C:EC:42

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

the cell BSSID is strangely similar to the card MAC (00:09:5B:27:EC:42)
and if I try to use wpa_supplicant in ad-hoc mode this is what happens:

I'm working on the supplicant code so it could be I messed something in
with the driver but still it is strange this is exactly the same after a
restart.. no?

ciao,
leonardo.
