Note that these may not fix the problem on all hardware.  Older ethernet
cards didn't have mac addresses stored on the card.  I think the QFE is
new enough to have addresses, but perhaps not.  OpenBSD does not have an
easy way to change the MAC address of an ethernet card.  (at least not
without finding and compiling some new software)
