One of the things that show up on the q v nic det that does not appear to
show up on the q vswitch det is the actual MAC given by the vswitch to the
nic, ex:

CP Q V NIC 1600 DETAIL
Adapter 1600.P00 Type: QDIO      Name: UNASSIGNED  Devices: 3
  MAC: 02-06-00-00-00-52         VSWITCH: SYSTEM DT70L2 <-- MAC from
vswitch
      RX Packets: 2562       Discarded: 0          Errors: 0
      TX Packets: 576        Discarded: 0          Errors: 0
      RX Bytes: 186892               TX Bytes: 78429
  Connection Name: HALLOLE   State: Session Established
      Device: 1600  Unit: 000   Role: CTL-READ
      Device: 1601  Unit: 001   Role: CTL-WRITE
      Device: 1602  Unit: 002   Role: DATA       vPort: 0078  Index: 0008
      Options: Ethernet Broadcast
        Unicast MAC Addresses:
          02-06-FF-FF-FF-01 <-- MAC set by user for the nic

I'm not sure if it would make a difference with Layer3 mode.  On SLES-11
you can't set the MAC on the nic if it's in layer3, but maybe it was
possible on SLES-8.
