"set X.X.X.X ethernet" doesn't always work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the "set X.X.X.X ethernet " config option on a IP address, without
previously giving a MAC address to its "parent" template  


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Normaly if I set the MAC address of an IP, it should use it. But instead it
only uses it if I also set a MAC address to its "parent" template (by that
I mean the template the IP is bound to)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN HEAD and latest package (1.5c) both have the issue.

Please provide any additional information below.
I've attached a sample config file with comments, as well as a proposed
patch. No side effects were noticed after patching, but we didn't do
extensive testing.
