...but as expected nothing changed. The problem is not that the driver
can't find the MAC address, it just can't find the card at all. So
naturally no interface is installed for it, hence ifconfig can't be
used to set the MAC address. A.G. did not include any software with
the card, and any attempts to use STiNG to set the MAC address just
results in an error.
