What I am saying is that unless you are doing a very high volume then
the most practical approach to get a real MAC is to buy them as
preprogrammed eeproms, for example Microchip 24AA02E48. There is no
checksum what so ever in these devices, only the MAC at a predefined
location (write protected). There is also some small amount of
unprotected space for custom data if needed (can often be protected
after programming).
