What this means
The IEEE assigned the MA-L block 00E0B8 to GATEWAY 2000. Every network interface they manufacture under this block has a MAC address beginning with these digits, followed by a unique per-device identifier. If a device on your network shows a MAC starting 00:E0:B8, it is GATEWAY 2000 hardware.
