Commit bada339ba24dee9e143bfb42e1dc61f146619846 enforces that all interfaces have a valid MAC address before they are brought up. ipw2200 does not assign a MAC address to it's radiotap interface, meaning that the radiotap interface cannot be brought up in 2.6.24. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215714 Fix this by copying the MAC address from the real interface.
