Adrian? Thank you very much.

You reminded me that the RX filter is not correct, Yes, I almost forget that
I have changed the RX filter in ieee80211_configure_filter :

new_flags |= FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS;

and the mode is STATION. 

What I want is to make two devices communicate directly without creating an
BSS or IBSS in advance, just using a wildcard BSSID instead.  But if setting
the RX flag as normal case 0 in STATION mode, the hardware can receive
noting. I don't know what's the matter. May be an BSSID must be set to the
hardware?
