os.networkInterfaces returning wrong mac address (v 8.1.2) #13759

Description

@MasterJames

Version: 8.1.2 [wrong] but Version 8.0.0 is still correct, Alas all 8.1.* up to 2 = latest are wrong
Linux hostname1 4.4.0-38-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 6 15:42:33 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The network mac address is wrong when asking os.networkInterfaces() .
It shows 00:00:00:00:a0:00 or something similar bogus compared to what 'ip addr' shows for link/ether on the device (none local of course)

Going back to version 8.0.0 the correct MAC address is shown, but 8.1.2 is failing to do so.
For a minute I thought I needed tests!? Maybe a test to compare 'ip addr' etc.?

My many Hopes and Thanks for a quick patch to this issue. MJ
