Hi,

I just picked up a bunch of linksys ethernet cards which I use as cheap
backup network cards and either I have some bad luck, or the dc driver is
broken. All have the same mac address.

dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 66.28.74.113 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 66.28.74.127
        ether 08:00:08:00:08:00
        media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex>
        status: active

I have 5 machines that all show that same mac. I actually had to
reconfigure the mac via ifconfig to get things working for now. I first
seen this issue running 4.6.2R, but after a cvsup & update today of one
machine, I still see the same issue.

here is the relevent boot msg:

dc0: <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX> port 0x9800-0x98ff mem
0xe5000000-0xe50003ff irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0
dc0: Ethernet address: 08:00:08:00:08:00

Can this be fixed before 4.7 roles out?

Thanks,

Bill
