Yes i get this sometimes with a crappy old desktop I used as a front
end.  About 1 in 10 starts the NIC would have a mac address of all

A reboot fixes it, but new frontend hardware looks to be doing the business.

Shame my TV is now next on the upgrade list... a 720p television that
only works at a couple of input resolutions is not that handy.
