No clue what you're asking for here.  Are you looking to scan the NICs 
on a system to list the MAC addresses?  Are you asking to scan a network 
to determine existing MAC addresses?  Are you asking to create 
hypothetical MAC addresses for some specific vendor?

First, WHY?  Then WHAT EXACTLY?

The WHY part is that you may think you need what you've asked 
oh-so-subtly for, or, you may need something very different.
