Nick, I don't think that MAC address is that good. The first octet should
at least be 02 and not 00.
The two last bits in first octet say if it is a locally administered or
globally unique (OUI) MAC-address and if its an uni- or multicast
MAC-address.
So you want them to be 10 and not 00 (02:00:00:XX:XX:XX).
The other bits and octets you have zero can be any random bits you like,
like zero.
