Cell phones use an IMEI number, which is quite different from the MAC addresses
used on computer networks. However, the Wifi interface would use a MAC. There
would certainly be problems with two devices having the same MAC address on a
network. That's why I said they have to be locally unique. Also, many of the
MACs that have been used are for obsolete gear, such as token ring or
10base5/10base2 Ethernet cards which are unlikely to still be in service. Even
10baseT NICs, while still usable on modern networks are so slow that most of
them would have been tossed by now. If you do manage to get two NICs with the
same MAC, you can alway resort to locally administered MACs for one of them.
