While most of end user devices work with temporarily assigned IP addresses, or even with RFC1918 behind a NAT, very humble ethernet devices come from factory with a PERMANENTE unique mac address.
Just don't tell Greenpeace - I don't think we're quite at the state yet where we need to start recycling the MAC addresses from thrown out CPE routers. Plus I'm sure the CA government will be more than happy to add a $4/device recycling fee for anything sold with a MAC address if they find out about it.
