Everything past the sbus hme (including the qfe and PCI versions of the
hme).  I don't remember for sure about the qe.

Keep in mind that you can always set an alternate MAC address with
ifconfig if it's necessary regardless of the interface.  The usual
convention I follow in that case is to set the second bit of the first
octet (denoting a non-IEEE address) and to set the last 4 octets to the IP
address bound to that interface.
