what about 48 bits?

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.
