That's not the point, though.  The point is the WINE supports reading the
MAC address and does indeed serve up the MAC address of the first network
card (eth0, which happens to be my fixed ethernet port - the same one as
VRPC is bound to in Windows).  It could easily not support reading the MAC
address (it doesn't read the battery state, for example), or return some
dummy value like 01:23:45:67:89:AB instead.  Such support means it's
possible to run a previously-registered VRPC under WINE.
