Subject: [PATCH 0/3] libertas_tf: fix setting the hardware address

Hi,

this short patchset addresses a problem with libertas_tf driver, where
the driver registers the interface without having the MAC address set,
only setting it when the interface is brought up. That is generally too
late, and it confuses NetworkManager.

Some restructuring is needed first, done in first two patches.

Tested on an OLPC XO laptop.

Cheers,
Lubo
