Driver wl1251 generating mac address randomly at startup and
there is no way to set permanent mac address via
SET_IEEE80211_PERM_ADDR. This patch export sysfs file which
can set permanent mac address by userspace helper program.
Patch is needed for devices which do not store mac address
in internal wl1251 eeprom.

This doesn't really seem like a good idea since you can also
just use 'ip' or whatever to set the MAC address.

AFAIK you cannot set permanent address (show by ethtool -P wlan0) 
via ip/ifconfig.

You probably can't, but that address also doesn't matter at all and
isn't really used anywhere.
