This error indicates an attempt to set an invalid value for the mac address of a network interface.

Things to try:

Check that the address you are attempt to set is correct.

Check the type of the network interface using the ifstat command. Some network interfaces will autodetect the type of network that they are attached to (e.g. Ethernet or Infiniband), and will refuse to accept a mac address for the wrong type of network.
