Everyone believed that except DECnet which expected all cards in the
same machine to have the same MAC. The address should be stored in a
ROM and initialized at startup, so it is probably a firmware or driver
bug.
Les: On multiport cards, do the NICs all have different MAC addresses
and do they all use the same driver? The OP has a board where the 2 NICs
use different drivers. Seems like DECnet did not have a better idea
there.
All NICs everywhere are supposed to have different MAC addresses. And
I've never seen different ones on the same board need different drivers
before except for fancy servers that have a built-in management
interface that might be a 10/100 NIC while the main ones are 10/100/1000.
