Description
On some [older/ancient] BMCs, the BMC shares the same MAC address as the host interface.

In 1.1, you can not add a BMC interface to a host as foreman complains that the mac address is already in use. I'm not sure if this issue is even worth fixing as I've only see this on very old systems but it may be worth noting the existence of this limitation.
