I actually apply a patch for that. I have added a module parameter which is used as the MAC address for the first radio, and I increment the final octet for each additional radio. This is so that my users do not have to manually reset the MAC address to get a unique one. I apply the address to both addresses mentioned above though I only use the netlink datapath. If there is interest in this I can submit it as an RFC patch tomorrow.
