I keep seeing mention here of the "permanent" MAC address.
Really? Permanent?
Been a long time, but it seems like one of the fun things about having
DECNet-phase IV on the network was its propensity for changing the MAC
address to be the DECNet address.
And it seems like the HP-UX machines (among others) could write what
every they wanted to as addresses.
