0x6e = 0110 1110b. Bit 1 is the Locally Administered bit. Meaning this
is not an MAC address from a vendor pool, but one generated locally.
http://www.noah.org/wiki/MAC_address
If linux were to generate a random MAC address it would also set bit
1.
What is interesting is that you say you get the same value each
time. So it most either be stored somewhere, or it is generated from
something, the board serial number, etc.
