Where is the new module parameter needed? I was thinking about changing
the mac address using the standard interface, for example 'ip' tool or
similar. I think mac80211 supports that (see ieee80211_change_mage) but
I haven't tested it.
I'm worried that we are talking about different things here so maybe
it's best that I'll wait for the actual patch before commenting more.
