I installed both Eigerstein and EigersteinBeta with most defaults except for the modules (activated tulip and removed other ethernet drivers) and dhclient.conf (I need to send my ethernet mac address to mediaone cable ISP).   Anyway, this is the problem.  I cannot get a connection from the ISP, dhclient cannot connect.  I noticed from the bootlog and ip addr show  that my ethernet addresses where reversed.  eth0 shows as:   02:00:08:e3:6a:46   instead of this correct address:   00:02:e3:08:46:6a   The same is true for eth1.   What is happening?  Is this causing my dhclient to fail?    Thanks, Gerry
