I don't think that's possible given that Jon was suggesting.

Given what I was suggesting, no...but there have been multiple cases of a vendor screwing up and producing large runs of devices/cards all with the same MAC address. IIRC, there was a batch of Netgear PCI NICs where you might find all the NICs in a multipack box had the same MAC address.
