Title:
  Ravello's MAC prefix (2c:c2:60) is not violating any scheme, but
  rather must be handled as if it is a virtual interface

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “systemd” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  The MAC prefix 2c:c2:60 should be treated like 52:54:00 (KVM) and 00:0c:29 VMWare (VMWare):
  network devices with a MAC that starts with 2c:c2:60 shall not be persistent.

  This MAC prefix belongs to Ravello Systems:
  http://hwaddress.com/mac/2CC260-000000.html
  http://www.ravellosystems.com

  According to /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules of
  version 204-5ubuntu20, this MAC prefix is in the list of the local MAC
  address assignment scheme violators, but in fact this MAC always
  belongs to a virtual interface, such as KVM, VirtualBox and VMWare.

  This bug affects Ubuntu Trusty.
  (Ubuntu Precise had this bug as well, and already fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1099278).

  An upstream patch is attached.
