Bzzzzt. According to WikiPedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
MAC addresses are used for:
- Token ring - 802.11 wireless networks - Bluetooth - FDDI - ATM (switched virtual connections only, as part of an NSAP address) - SCSI and Fibre Channel (as part of a World Wide Name)
FDDI = fiber, ATM = ATM.
