I had the same thing happen, albeit with a different MAC (mine is bc:30:7d:68:df:3a - note the different first 6 digits, which is assigned to a specific manufacturer).

After a little research and playing with the setting on my wireless cable modem/router, I determined that the system was identifying the device as 'Viera LAN', which is actually a wireless LAN adapter made by Panasonic for LCD Flat creen TVs. Unless you actually have this device and are using it, I believe what the system is identifying as 'Viera LAN' is actually related to the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature on your wireless router. I believe this is due to the fact that the manufacturer of the Viera LAN device also makes the technology for the WPS feature, which means the MAC address is similar and the system assumes it is a Vera LAN device (bad assumption).

To test this, go to your routers setting and disable WPS (which you need only if you are using the push-button feature on the router to add users instead of the more typical password option). After doing this , you should not see the Viera LAN device on the list of your active Network devices. Once confirmed, you can elect to turn WPS back on if you would like to use and having confirmed it is not an unauthorized device on your network.
