Bug Description
The AMT power template asks me for a MAC address. But isn't AMT by definition always on the same MAC as the main host interface? If so, we could fill out the MAC address automatically, and even try to guess what the IP address was based on the ARP table.

It already does arp guessing if you don't enter any IP. However this depends on the arp cache being primed, and consequently fails a lot.
