Beware, the ether= field must have the ethernet address
in lower case, this is because all fields are case sensitive
when they are matched by libndb and the accress printed
by /dev/ether0/addr is in lower case.
This is true. I remember getting bitten by this and Boyd (may his soul
rest in peace) ranting about how ridiculous it was when we were
setting things up on a Mini-ITX board.
