It's necessary to note that the information provided while option-clicking does not display 00 as an octet. On the bottom of their Airports, Apple lists the MAC address as 00:1A:2B:3C:00:4D. However, the information provided via Airport in the menu bar will list the same address as 0:1A:2B:3C:0:4D. I believe Skyhook Wireless needs the octet form "00" instead of Apple's address information of "0."

I believe Ryan is referring to the octet used in computer terminology meaning one byte or 8 bits. In other words, the number 156 in binary would be "1001 1100." The same number represented in hexadecimal would be "9C." Those two hexadecimal (0-F) characters "9C" make up the octet. There are six octets in a MAC address.
