>From what I have been reading, on the internet, it seems that the local-mac-address does not work under Linux. I need to know if that is still correct or has it changed. Because this SPARC is being used to route I do not understand how the same MAC will not cause a problem, yet some of the E-Mails I have read said that if the two cards are on different logical networks there will be no problem. Since I need ipchains to route to the two NICs, I do not understand how the same MAC address could work. Could some one explain that to me.

"why would ifconfig show the same MAC addresses unless there was a problem?" This is standard Sun behavior, and can be changed from the OBP (ok prompt) using "setenv local-mac-address? true"
