Title:
  Network devices with a MAC with prefix 2c:c2:60 should not be have a
  persistent rule

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “udev” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) using your preferred virtualization technology create an Ubuntu guest with a MAC address starting with 2c:c2:60.
  2) boot the Ubuntu guest
  3) cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

  The file will contain a line with an address containing "2c:c2:60".
  With the version of the package from -proposed it will not.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low as this is limited to MAC address assigned to Ravello Systems.

  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:

  A patch to Precise's version of udev is attached.
