I don't expect it matters but you can have more than one MAC address
per machine. I have one for Ethernet and a different one for Airport.
The Ethernet one appears first in the preferences.plist, but is that
just because I am connected via enternet at the moment? Could the
order change if the connection method changes?

Just something for you to consider :-)
