No

With our brand-new Dell's (Nov 2012), webmin is not allowing MAC addresses of the following prefix: 90:B1:1C:__:__:__
However, manually editing the dhcpd.conf file allows the MACs

    On which page in Webmin are you trying to enter the MAC address?

    Could you post the full MAC address that you tried to enter?

    Webmin allows anything containing numbers in the range 0-9 and letters from A-F

    I just tried creating a host with that MAC address, and it worked fine...

    Which Webmin version do you have there? The latest is 1.600

    1.6
    --Very odd. I tested the "Edit Host" and it has no issues. I also "created" 90:B1:1C:5D:3E:C2 without issue. I suppose it was a fluke. I had previously even restarted webmin and made certain it and dhcp module was up to date before filing a bug report. I suppose this bug should be closed -- i'll keep an eye out for our next new static addresses. Thank you for you time and effort.

    Ok, I will close this as non-repeatable then..
