The WiFi adaptor's MAC address is set to the pre-programmed Ethernet
adaptor MAC address when WiFi is started. Only one of the interfaces is
ever expected to be in use at a time.
And I guess the average AP/Router would only ever have to keep one DHCP
record, which might be helpful...
And perhaps saved a few bob, because only one MAC address needed to be
"bought".

Simply because SqueezeOS chooses to call the Ethernet adaptor -eth0- and
the WiFi adaptor -eth1-.
