After digging a bit into linux-stable.git I found the culprit: this
regression comes from commit #
6c50f9459e62eb133563fd23606f68bfc9d120e8 (rt2x00: Use addr_mask to
disallow invalid MAC addresses in mutli-bssid mode) ; reverting it
fixes the problem, tested by me in compat-drivers-2013-03-28-5-u .


I can't tell if reverting that commit adds any trouble as I'm not a
developer; however I'm sure you guys will know how to handle the
situation.
