cisco aironet 4800 pci wireless card not configuring properly

[Ameer Armaly]

 Hi all.
 I've got a cisco 4800 aironet card, that is detected successfully by the
 driver in the kernel.  However, when I configure with ifup, it says that it
 doesn't
 understand hardware address 801 for wifi0.
 I'm running debian unstable with kernel 2.6.8.1 on an athlon 2.07 ghz with
 256 mb ram.
