rt73: Possible Hardware Address Error

[pmarinel]

I'm not sure if this is the right area, but after trying to run some simple tests on my rt73 device i noticed that if i typed in ifconfig my hardware address for the device is displayed as 11:22:33:44:55:66:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00.

Is this a normal, or is my device on the fritz and in need of a replacement?

Thanks in advanced.

No need to replace your card, the driver simply parses the information incorrectly. I have seen the same issue using a few different drivers and cards.
