Ok, if I use the HWADDR value and last initscripts-8.31.5-1 I can bind
the logical device with physical device.

Many thanks!

A little problem, and question:
If the logical device is load without the HWADDR set, and it is not bind
to the correct physical device, the MAC show with 'ip a' is not that
right

In this scenario, If I run 'neat' and press [probe] for eth0, 
the MAC address returned is 00:09:...(natsemi) and not 00:13:...(r8169)

What is the best way to get the right MAC for a specific network card?

Many thanks
