Subject: [PATCH 08/11] rt2x00: Fix MAC address initialization for multiple interfaces
MAC address initialization was broken when the first
interface which was loaded was a monitor interface and a
real interface was loaded after that.
Only configure the MAC address when a non-monitor interface
is being added. This required splitting the initialization
steps in add_interface up.
