I thought the common practice was to use MAC assignments that indeed
reflect the vendor of the PHY, not of the whole system. For example, a
Dell computer might have an Intel MAC address prefix because an Intel
Ethernet chip is used to implement the Ethernet interface in the Dell
computer. So, if OzyII were to use a Microchip interface, it would
make sense for OzyII's to have Microchip MAC address prefixes.
