I remember changing one email or to with Adrian Chad about some time ago "MAC
spoofing" (I want to use bhyve with wlan0+tap0 in bridge, and this laptop only
comes with the wifi card, no Ethernet...) and it wasn't supported at the time,
so I wonder if this is by design?

Mine does the same:
ath0 at pci0:2:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0xe052105b chip=0x0034168c rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device     = 'AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter'
    class      = network

ath0: <Atheros AR946x/AR948x> mem 0xc0400000-0xc047ffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on
pci2
ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
ath0: [HT] enabling short-GI in 20MHz mode
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled
ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC transmit enabled
ath0: [HT] 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams
ath0: AR9460 mac 640.2 RF5110 phy 1070.0
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x0000; 5GHz radio: 0x0000

I'm just wondering if the driver created wlanX with different MAC address, the
driver is still (I'm assuming sorry if I'm wrong) not ready to deal with
that... and so things would work properly anyway?
Sorry if I'm saying total none-sense.
