And this makes perfect sense - this would require a lot of overhead and modifications of the radio firmware to become able to answer with "custom" 802.1k neighbor reports - one of the key features on all Mesh system designs - based on the MAC (BSSID) of the client where only MAC (BSSID) of neighbouring access points are reported - depending on the MAC allow resp. MAC deny lists on each individual access point.
