[Commotion-dev] unmasking spoofed MAC addresses on Atheros cards

[Dan Staples]

So there's a weakness in how the ath9k_htc driver implements virtual
interfaces, which allows an attacker to find your device's MAC address
even if you spoof it:

The ath9k_htc driver is used in many of the TP-Link USB wifi adapters we
recommend for the Commotion Linux client, so I thought it might be of
interest to yall.
