My ethernet card is broken on my old MacBook. (I blew it up with wrong cables when I was drunk lol)

So I'm now using a Mac USB Ethernet Adapter (the official apple not a 3rd party product)

What Mac Address do I use now? A fresh new mac address from my usb ethernet adapter or the old one from my ethernet card?

Terminal gives me the following results:

Code: 
541d038d:~ Jeroen$ ifconfig en0 | grep ether
	ether 00:16:cb:ce:f9:b0 
541d038d:~ Jeroen$ ifconfig en1 | grep ether
	ether 00:17:f2:49:8f:58 
541d038d:~ Jeroen$ ifconfig en2 | grep ether
ifconfig: interface en2 does not exist
541d038d:~ Jeroen$ ifconfig en3 | grep ether
ifconfig: interface en3 does not exist
541d038d:~ Jeroen$ ifconfig en4 | grep ether
ifconfig: interface en4 does not exist
541d038d:~ Jeroen$ ifconfig en5 | grep ether
	ether 58:55:ca:23:94:67

I guess en5 is the usb ethernet adapter?
