If OBSD can't afford MAC addresses but does not object to them in principle, I can give forever IRU for 256 MAC addresses to OBSD for 0USD one-time fee.
when/if we change the mac addrs, the new range should be utterly correct and not just "a little bit better". not sure this would qualify.
I fail to see the issue with using these addresses, they are globally unique and correctly administrated at IEEE, Saku Ytti can do whatever he wants (like giving indefeasible rights of use to the OpenBSD Foundation). It won't come any cheaper than this (I am Dutch, I recognise a good deal when I see one!). If the team accepts I'll submit a patch to wireshark so decoded packets containing MACs from that block are properly identified as "OpenBSD". Kind regards, Job
