I imagine JLMS hit the right answer, I'm wondering if Mick is setup on a
VM and this is somehow changing each time it boots?
Did a quick google and a fedora post on trying to create a
different/random MAC address can be found here (just for interest)

As mentioned in that list of posts, I guess it could be useful on dual
boot machines etc.
