this is only used when you don't have IPv6 addy assigned to you (static) or
there is no address server (e.g. DHCPv6) around for you to use. at that point
as a last resort you can substitute the last 48 bits of the IPv6 node's addy
with the last 48 bits of your MAC address.
note that this doesn't use the entire MAC address, "just" the last half of it
and that this is a last resort, not the usual methodology for creating an
IPv6 address.
