In the early 90's a friend of mine got a box of 10 HP cards with all the same MAC address.
In my early days of network admining, a coworker told me a (apocryphal) story of 3com shipping a batch of 80K cards with identical MAC addresses, which they then had to recall.
Unfortunately a cursory Google turns up nothing, so I suppose he was either misinformed or pulling my leg.
I have also heard such stories, again from the '90s. Can cause odd failure modes. Regards Marshall
