Mac-Address uniqueness

Hello List!

Im not sure if this better kvm or qemu code that is responsible, but
since my binary is called "kvm" I'll try this list first, tell me if its
wrong.

I now have 3 virtual machines on my host (Windows 2003 server, Ubuntu
etch, an old Suse) and have bridged networking setup.
I used -nic,model=rtl8139 on all machines, maybe because Windows needed
it, and then I just kept my script...

Unfortunally all machines detect the same ethernet address
'52:54:00:12:34:56'. Which you can guess what i means, networking comes
and goes whatever machine last the ethernet address got hold of from the
gateway. I tried specifing an ethernet-adress with "-net
nic,macaddr=$MAC" but this also didn't work through.

For now I just hardseted the mac in all machines to 52:54:00:12:34:57,
52:54:00:12:34:58 and so on.

Greetings, Axel
