The OLPC security working group has been investigating randomizing the
MAC address on a rolling schedule -- something along the general lines
of the IPv6 privacy extensions, but lower in the stack. Michail didn't
think it'd be much of a problem.

The reason it's worth serious consideration in our case is the Marvell
chip; it's an unpleasant idea that even after you power off your laptop,
it's still leaking its (your) identity to anything in wifi range that cares.
