Let's remember that there are some kinds of interfaces that are 
*strictly* dependent on the ROM to get their MAC addresses.  hme's, for 
example, do not have an "independent" MAC address to use when 
local-mac-address? is made true.  If you look at prtconf -vp, you can 
look for a local-mac-address attribute provided by fcode to see if you 
have a local ether on the card.  There's some more information available 
via Sun InfoDoc *ID16733, which indicates that there are manual ways of 
setting the ether to arbitrary values (assuming you make sure to resolve 
reuse issues on your own).  It does not indicate whether specific fcode 
support is required to support ether mutability.*
