Subject: [PATCH] SIS900 show warning if bogus MAC address

The attached patch modifies the sis900 driver to show a warning at boot
or module load time to show a message when a null MAC address
(00:00:00:00:00:00) is read from the the hardware.
This seems to happen with newer usage of the sis900 chipset, since this
never came up before.
