The function _ipconfig_getnode() in the uuid module can incorrectly pick up an IPv6 DUID instead of a MAC address due to not validating an exact match for the regular expression. The following output from `ipconfig /all` on my machine can be used to illustrate the problem:
```
C:\Users\viz_s>ipconfig /all
