First you should request an OUI (see http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml). It is used as the left part (3 bytes) of an ethernet MAC address. Then you have to assign the other 3 bytes and ensure that one MAC address never is used twice. To accomplish this you can use the serial number of your device or special chips that contain such unique numbers.
