In my experience, MAC address duplicates are almost always the result of
too-true copy&paste'ing of virtual machine configurations :-)
(You want to duplicate the virtual machine in order to try an upgrade...)

if you remove 00:00:00:00:00:00 and ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff from the list,
I've never seen a duplicate. (all-zeros and all-ones are the result of
the eeprom dying in various ways, or a driver getting confused. Both
will work until you get a second machine with the same problem)
