Commit bada339ba24dee9e143bfb42e1dc61f146619846 enforces that all
interfaces have a valid MAC address before they are brought up.
ipw2200 does not assign a MAC address to it's radiotap interface, meaning
that the radiotap interface cannot be brought up in 2.6.24.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215714
Fix this by copying the MAC address from the real interface.
