The uuid.getnode() function has multiple implementations, tested sequentially.
The ifconfig implementation was incorrect and always failed: fix it.
In practice, functions of libuuid library are preferred, if available:
uuid_generate_time_safe(), uuid_create() or uuid_generate_time().
(cherry picked from commit e3ec272)
