I suppose it is Nokia implemenmtation of MAC80211 and wl12xx drivers, which makes it fail with a MAC adress of 00:00:00:00:00 - this is usually not an issue, but digging around, made me try to test changing the MAC.
And, yes, best success seems to be obtained if the MAC is changed to one beloning to Nokia (eg. change the last digit of the MAC fx. 7E -> 7D).
What I believe to be the reason for this, is that the MAC change just prods the driver into correct state for allowing to write to the L2 buffer. It should be possible to modify device initialization so that it isn't necessary to do that.
