The madwifi driver uses the first byte of the wifi mac address
for its VAP mechanism: Each VAP is assigned another value for
the first byte to distinguish the traffic for the various VAPs.
Therefore, the driver silently assumes the first byte of the
mac address is zero which is not always the case. This (ugly)
workaround always sets the first byte to zero to support all
mac addresses.
