In the meantime Vladimir pushed different implementation that provides
net_default_mac:

`net_default_interface'
     Initially set to name of network interface that was used to load
     grub.  Read-write, although setting it affects only interpretation
     of `net_default_ip' and `net_default_mac'

`net_default_ip'
     The IP address of default interface.  Read-only. This is alias for
     the `net_${net_default_interface}_ip'.

`net_default_mac'
     The default interface's MAC address.  Read-only.  This is alias
     for the `net_${net_default_interface}_mac'.

Could you verify that it works for you? Also if you would comment on
documentation in Network section from user's perspective.
