Funny.  Older mac's (the last-generation mac68k's used to have a problem
where the ether address actually _was_ burned in backwards...  From the
A/UX FAQ:

    as, ao, etheraddr:
        H/W ethernet address is burned in bitwise reverse on Q9?0
        and Ethernet NB card. Thus, ao, as and etheraddr reports the
        incorrect address.
