I do the same, but with another policy: 1 bin octects = 2 hex digits .102.8 --> 00:66:08 in your case .102.8 --> .102.008 --> :10:20:08 will be better with your algorithm .102.80 = .102.8 = :10:28:00, if I understood correctly 2008/11/7 Michael DeHaan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Currently it only generates random MACs in the Xen range, in the future > it will pay attention to the --virt-type settings and also do KVM and > vmware mac ranges.
