I have similar issue as here(AVRISPmkII connection status: Unknown status 0x00) but different setup and changing bitcklock didn't help. The current setup is atmega328p with external oscillator 16MHz connected to ISP interface of avrisp mkII programmer but whatever I do It keeps on showing the same output all the time:
mike@asus:~/wireless-temp-sens/tests$ sudo avrdude -p atmega328p -P usb -c avrispv2 -U lfuse:w:0xff:m -U hfuse:w:0xd9:m -U efuse:w:0xfe:m -v

avrdude done. Thank you.
Any help is appreciated!
Problem resolved! Don't remember what was the reason exactly. I guess clock crystal didn't have proper connections on a breadboard. So, I would say:
