[Casper] Duplicate MAC Addresses

[Brenner, John]

Apple should be able to repair this.  This will cause problems with network
packet routing and should be fixed.

Xerox once sent us printers that had the same MAC address.   If you would
print to one you had a 50 50 shot as to where the job would be printed.
Xerox sent us a utility and I was able to flash the network card and change
the MAC.
