Subject: ath9k_htc: properly set MAC address and BSSID mask
From: Mathy Vanhoef <vanhoefm@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 657eb17d87852c42b55c4b06d5425baa08b2ddb3 upstream.
Pick the MAC address of the first virtual interface as the new hardware MAC
address. Set BSSID mask according to this MAC address. This fixes CVE-2013-4579.
