Sorry... in order to qualify my statement I should say that I was in 
charge of United Kingdom RMAs for a Taiwanese manufacturer of Network 
cards for 3 years... as such I have come across thousands of faulty 
network cards and one of our tests for a faulty PROM was to ask our 
distributors if the MAC addresses had set itself to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

I don't doubt that it is a broadcast address.
