[PATCH] ath5k: set mac address in add_interface

[Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com>]

Hi Maxim, 

Please try this patch.  I didn't have a problem changing the mac address 
after it was set to something else.  I did kick it to re-associate with
the AP, though.

Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: set mac address in add_interface

Configure the mac address in add_interface and clear it in
remove_interface so that users can change the mac address
to something other than the one in the eeprom.  Also avoid
setting it at attach time so that we won't ack packets
until fully set up.
