Title:
  [maguro] broadcom dongle host driver sometimes fails to load the
  correct mac address

Status in “linux-maguro” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “linux-maguro” source package in Saucy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Just reboot with 'adb reboot', and you'll noticed that sometimes it
  boots with a default wlan mac address, instead of the real one
  available in the phone.

  Wrong mac:
  wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:90:4c:11:22:33  
            inet addr:192.168.2.57  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
            inet6 addr: fe80::290:4cff:fe11:2233/64 Scope:Link

  Correct mac:
  wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr a0:0b:ba:c5:fd:da  
            inet addr:192.168.2.63  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
            inet6 addr: fe80::a20b:baff:fec5:fdda/64 Scope:Link

  Putting the interface down/up makes it get the right mac address when
  the default is used, so this might be a race between driver, firmware
  and network manager.
