Not a serious problem, but for me "ifconfig iwi0 ether $NEWMACADDRESS" 
brings down the interface because of:

Apr 19 14:44:13 TP51 kernel: firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
Apr 19 14:44:13 TP51 kernel: iwi0: could not load firmware

I assume loading iwi_bss fails because it was already loaded.

Sometimes "ifconfig iwi0 up" is enough to bring iwi0 back,
but most of the times I get "status: no carrier" (even though
"ifconfig iwi0 scan" shows the AP) until I reload iwiNG.

If I change the ethernet address before bringing the interface
up, I don't get any problems.
