I actually apply a patch for that. I have added a module parameter which
is used as the MAC address for the first radio, and I increment the final
octet for each additional radio. This is so that my users do not have
to manually reset the MAC address to get a unique one. I apply the address
to both addresses mentioned above though I only use the netlink datapath.
If there is interest in this I can submit it as an RFC patch tomorrow.
