I don't have EFI spec under my hand now. Can we get away with making it a default or at least for the case when no interface overrides mac address. Extra config to workaround firmware bugs is usually harmful
http://wiki.phoenix.com/wiki/index.php/EFI_SIMPLE_NETWORK_PROTOCOLThat is what I've been using. The thing I worry about is that this is just the multicast address for ipv6. There's a wikipedia page that lists about 15 addresses for different things. Now how many do we care about for grub? I have no idea. I _think_ that we only really care about multicast traffic for ipv6 router advertisements, I can't think of when else we'd want to use it. So in that sense I think it would be ok to do this. But I have no way of knowing what would break in current working configurations which is why I went with the config option. I can test with the variety of hardware I have here and see how it does with it set by default. It's up to you, I'm good either way. Thanks,
Josef
