9 Often the MAC is printed on the nic. Some (few) devices
10 have MAC set in firmware and it is hackable.
11 MAC numbering is often suspect in a variety of
12 circumstances. My suggestion is that
13 you surf the open source tools to find something
14 that reveals deeper information about your MAC
15 anomalies. Lots of stuff in:
16
17
18 /usr/portage/net-analyzer/
19
20
21 Here's one:

23
24 net-analyzer/macchanger

26 Description: Utility for viewing/manipulating
27 the MAC address of network interfaces
