[Bluez-users] New HCI-USB device, no MAC?

Hi!
I just acquired a new USB Bluetooth dongle.
Upon attachment it is correctly recognised as USB HCI but strangely it
does not carry any valid MAC address:

Requesting information ...
        BD Address:  11:11:11:11:11:11
        Device Name: piwi-1
        LMP Version: 1.2 (0x2) LMP Subversion: 0x1fe
        Manufacturer: Integrated System Solution Corp. (57)
        Features: 0xbf 0xfe 0x8d 0x78 0x08 0x18 0x00 0x00
                <3-slot packets> <5-slot packets> <encryption> <slot
offset>
                <timing accuracy> <role switch> <sniff mode> <RSSI>
                <channel quality> <SCO link> <HV2 packets> <HV3 packets>
                <u-law log> <A-law log> <CVSD> <power control>
                <transparent SCO> <broadcast encrypt> <enhanced iscan>
                <interlaced iscan> <interlaced pscan> <inquiry with RSSI>
                <AFH cap. slave> <AFH cap. master> <AFH class. master>

Is this a known issue for that chipset?
In fact I bought two dongles with the same chipset (but different
casing) and both start with the above default MAC.
Is there a tool to set a valid MAC?
And if so, to which MAC should I set it?
Or would probably the Windows driver program an initial MAC if first
connected to Windows?

Hints are welcome ;)
Thanks!

Cheers
