On my hardware it doesn't get it automatically off the card.

Also there are often to change the MAC using software or whatever...
On my hardware, I have 2 onboard NICs and I can change which one gets
used for IPMI over lan by flipping some settings in the NIC firmware.
Weird huh?

The bottom line is that you need to set the MAC address.
