CAPSMAN creating virtuals with a mac of 00:00:00:00:00:00 seems to stop static virtual working

Hi,

I have a number of CAPSMAN provisioned AP's that are working perfectly, but trying to add a new one to the mix is causing me some issues.

On the existing AP's, Static Virtual seems to work fine because they have been provisioned with mac addresses that can be matched. The manual says
CAP will create Static Virtual Interfaces instead of Dynamic and will try to reuse the same interface on reconnect to CAPsMAN if the MAC address will be the same


Given CAPSMAN seems to be creating all virtuals with a mac of 00:00:00:00:00:00, the matching can't work if there is more than one virtual. I can't find a way to get CAPSMAN to create the virtual with a mac address that is unique on my network (although as I have a number of working AP's, it seems that it used to) and so everytime the AP is rebooted, the interfaces get a new wlan name.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
