Here is how the code works:
First it looks for 1 mac address file. If it can read that it uses
that as address[0]. The rest of the addresses are locally administered
based on this.
If there is no mac address file whatsoever, we need one, we use a QC
oui to randomize one address for address[0] and uses locally
administered for the rest.

So, basically, we should never use QC oui unless we're in a really bad
situation and has it as a fallback. Even the locally administered ones
need some form of base, and randomizing the first 3 bytes will only
put us in a situation thats equally bad.

Cheers
