I believe HP and Broadcom partnered around 5 years ago to produce HP
Compaq systems with Broadcom's gigabit ethernet (but HP and Broadcom have
been partners in other ventures in previous decades too). Is the system
from HP Compaq? If so, it's probably just Broadcom using HP's allocation
as part of some kind of mutual agreement.

I tend to treat the MAC as a guide (e.g. useful for spotting VMWare
hosts), as it's usually quite easy to spoof.
