What's up with the OUI? From
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt:

00-00-24   (hex)        CONNECT AS
000024     (base 16)    CONNECT AS
                        HOERKAER 7-9
                        DK 2730 HERLEV
                        DENMARK
                        DENMARK

My net4801 devices also use this OUI. Is Soekris squatting on MAC
addresses?

You can set mac address via ifconfig:

# ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:24:c8:62:a1

The interface has to be down before changing the mac address.

You can add a line to the /etc/network/interfaces file that will change
the mac address on reboot:

        pre-up ifconfig eth0 down;ifconfig eth0 hw ether
00:00:24:c8:62:a1;ifconfig eth0 up
