Some recent BCM43XX devices lack an on-board SPROM. The pertinent data
from the SPROM could be included in the kernel; however, this presents
a problem in the generation of a unique, reproducible MAC address. The
solution is to use a file in /lib/firmware/ssb, which has some "random"
information generated by /bin/dbus-uuidgen. This file is loaded using the
asynchronous firmware facility and a MAC address is generated from those
data. To prevent multiple devices in a single box from having the same
MAC address, the last two digits are replaced by the bus numbers of the
device.

John,
Unless someone comes up with a unique way to generate a MAC address using
only udev rules, I think this is ready.
I suspect it is a little to invasive for 2.6.34. In addition, it fixes
a bug, but not a regression.

V2 - make virtual SPROM loading asynchronous.
V3 - eliminate the need for a special external utility
- set for unique MAC address even if a box has more than one of these
devices
