uuid.getnode() not work correctly on NetBSD5, then uuid.getnode() return random value per Python interpreter instance.
This problem is caused by the uuid._ifconfig_getnode() not supporting a 'ifconfig' / 'arp' output format of NetBSD.

I create a patch for this problem and attached.

2.5 is closed and 2.6 and 3.1 are or soon will be security fix only.
I do not know if any developer works with NetBSD.
