What I had been told by Sun support several years ago (and appears
to be true AFAIK) is that the interfaces actually have separate MAC
addresses burned into them, but Sun (4.x & Solaris) only reports
the first MAC address.
I can't remember how at this point, but I was shown how to find the
MAC address and use the ifconfig command to show the proper
address for each interface. (Don't have access to SPARCS at this
point, or I would look at one.)
