//UPDATE 2021 - as of commit e27cc87bdf4c59983e872c0c03d79717e77a6400 desmume began randomizing the mac address.
//the FirmwareMACMode was removed and we incorporated an assumption that the mac address would be randomized...
//... unless the user specified it otherwise (which would be applied later) .. I think?
//a search of internet lore from around that time reveals most users expect desmume to have a stable mac address (FirmwareMACMode_Automatic)
//This is the DEFINED BEHAVIOR for desmume.
//Until FirmwareMACMode is re-added, we MUST have a standard/automatic/stable mac address.
//BEWARE: the way it was formerly implemented is NONSENSE: the wifi module would read that setting and then CHANGE it in the firmware.
//WHAT??? The aforementioned commit had the right idea to move this responsibility to the firmware, but we can't have the stable mac address going bye-bye.
//So: here's the standard stable mac address
