> The MAC address must be unique to the network

Must be unique on the LAN segment, but not necessaryily across the
enterprise (as long as your switch infrastructure doesn't see the same MAC
in two places).  This can be a problem on older Sun hardware with multiple
network cards, since the Suns seemed to set all the cards on the host to
the same MAC address (that of the primary card).
