 After revision r38378 my atheros card and the router they were connecting
 to reported incorrect MAC addresses in the form of "ff:ff:ff:f?:02:00"
 with the "?" changing between devices.

 I narrowed it down to occurring between nightly builds r38360 and r38383,
 and as the only seemingly relevant revision between those two was r38378,
 I backed that revision out, rebuilt the image and tested it and sure
 enough I got an IP address correctly and the MAC addresses were correct
 again.

 That is the extent of my "hello world" level abilities though, so I can't
 figure out what part of the changes in r38378 actually broke things.
