Often the MAC is printed on the nic. Some (few) devices
have MAC set in firmware and it is hackable. 
MAC numbering is often suspect in a variety of
circumstances. My suggestion is that
you surf the open source tools to find something
that reveals deeper information about your MAC
anomalies. Lots of stuff in:


/usr/portage/net-analyzer/


Here's one:


net-analyzer/macchanger

Description:         Utility for viewing/manipulating 
the MAC address of network interfaces


goodluck,


James
