AIUI, that's true only if the first two bits (I/G and U/L) are both 
zero. When I/G is set to one, then the address is a multicast address. 
If the U/L bit is set to 1, then the address is locally administered.

If those two bits are zeros, then the remainder of the first three bytes 
are the OUI, which identifies the manufacturer.
