Just a note:-
Bit 2 of the first octet is the Locally Administered Address
(LAA) bit.

I guess perhaps the Buffalo router only has one MAC address allocated
for the interface or that the software makes such an assumption.

I have a cisco 877W here with two SSIDs and it seems to
allocate consecutive MAC addresses. No LAA bit set.
Seems a decent chance that cisco have allocated each
router a pool of addresses. Not sure tho'.

Recently noticed that Vista with Intel 3945/abg refuses to
accept changed mac addresses that do not have the LAA
bit set.
