Hi Ben,

thx for the review. Few comments inline.

I preferred to maintain a default mac prefix for compatibility with
older deployments
that maybe assume to have a default mac prefix for MACAM, but if you
prefer we can
switch to the second implementation

the only concern that come to my mind is that, is possible to have a
mac prefix collision on multiple
deployments when mac prefix is randomly chosen?
