Not all are cryptographically signed, no. We have no special documentation but we are also not directly modifying closed firmware either. We are working with mediatek cards and will post more updates this summer. We last posted about our approach 6 months ago, https://www.supernetworks.org/pages/blog/barely-ap-surfaces https://www.supernetworks.org/pages/blog/barely-ap-surfaces.
So the randomization bugs we have reported are specifically about stations, namely: mobile smart phone devices failing to randomize their WiFi MAC address.
As for the study this thread's topic concerns, I do not have reason to believe that there are bugs with MAC randomization in cards running as APs that would make the randomization of BSSIDs fail.
The probe responses and beacon contents appear to consistently use their randomized MAC address in the cards we have tested. There could be underlying actively triggered bugs an active attacker could uncover, to get the non randomized address, but I do not expect such bugs would affect the BSSID + Positional databases of this study.

- spr-alex 2y agoMy comment is not unsubstantiated. When implementing the feature we verified Probe Responses, Beacons, & EAPOL Handshakes work as expected with the randomized MAC for the BSSIDs.
