ESP-IDF AP roaming with specified MAC address

[Bryght-Richard]

Currently our products do a WiFi scan before connecting to attempt to identify the best access point, then specify it by MAC address with wifi_config.sta.bssid & wifi_config.sta.bssid_set = true.

I'm looking at enabling 802.11kv, but I had a couple questions.

If a station specifies the access point BSSID to esp_wifi_set_config(), will the station still perform 802.11k neighbor report and use that?

If a station specified the access point BSSID to esp_wifi_set_config(), will the station still roam with 802.11kv?

I had built out scan-before-connect to try to start with the best access point in the mesh first, but will my attempt at that prevent roaming to the best one?

It looks like the newer IDF has better support for these station configs:

//sta_config.btm_enabled = 1;
//sta_config.rm_enabled = 1;
//sta_config.mbo_enabled = 1;

Which then work best if BSSID is not specified.
