edge uses the tuntap driver. Under most operating systems, creating a tuntap
interface gives it a random MAC address. It seems that the whiterussian kernel
gives it zero. The MAC can be set with ifconfig after edge has been started.
See the ifconfig man page part about the hwaddr option. The MAC will be used on
the next REGISTER so you'll need to wait for that to occur (5 min I think).
I can add a command line option to specify the MAC. In fact I think it is a
good idea in general to allow edge nodes to exit/crash and come back with the
same MAC addr.
Give me a day and it should be in place.
