wpa_supplicant BSSIDs

[Chris Cortopassi]

I have a mesh network for which some of the BSSIDs (nodes) will never
accept a connection from wpa_supplicant but others will. To get around
this, I wrote application code to queue BSSIDs and try them one by one
via the BSSID command until one works. Is there some way to get
wpa_supplicant to do this automatically?

"ADD_NETWORK" ""
"SET_NETWORK" "0 ssid Moss"
"SET_NETWORK" "0 psk \"password\""
"BSSID" "0 be:c3:4f:d7:59:c4"
"ENABLE_NETWORK" "0"
"<3>Trying to associate with SSID 'Moss'"
"<3>CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=be:c3:4f:d7:59:c4 status_code=16"
"BSSID" " bc:cf:4f:d7:59:c3"
"<3>Trying to associate with SSID 'Moss'"
"<3>Associated with bc:cf:4f:d7:59:c3"
"<3>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to bc:cf:4f:d7:59:c3 completed
