DEADBEEF is actually an "old school programmer thing". But if we look into
a stock debian image file . . .

# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
# Note on some boards, usb0 is automaticly setup with an init script
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
As I recall there is also a script somewhere that did, or still sets this
MAC address for the ethernet interface. Granted this is not what my own
beaglebones are set to . . .
