Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work either.  I even went through
trying a bunch of numbers instead of the 0x07 as well.

After trying a bunch of permutations including the above, I finally gave
up, exchanged (upgraded) the card for a 3Com Megahertz 574B.  It isn't
quite supported under 3.4 althouth I did make it work (ep0 didn't pick
up the correct MAC addr but the bogus one it came up with still worked).
But I upgraded the laptop to 4.0-CURRENT and it's quite happy now, with
the correct MAC addr.

For all I know, the Edimax card itself may have been bad.

Thanks anyway!
