This is fixed for zd1211rw in my latest bunch of patches. But it
certainly wouldn't surprise me if future hardware/drivers are not able
to create an interface before loading firmware.
It implies that you have a way of reading the MAC address before
uploading firmware. I only figured this out for zd1211 by reverse
engineering the boot code to an extent.
