If the MAC address is incorrect in "ifconfig -a" output, then this isn't a udev problem; it doesn't do anything to change those.

We process the event when the kernel indicates that the network device has been added (an "add" uevent from the "network" subsystem), if the driver does this before firmware has been received (and thus before the device is useful) then this is almost certainly a driver bug.

Reassigning to the kernel.
