Good to see that my past networking traumas didn't completely go to waste
;-)

BTW, if I remember correctly, when you have an aggregation of two NICs, when
you list the details of the two NIC's MAC addresses, they should appear to
be the same -- is that right? If so, how can I verify this, as 'ifconfig -a'
doesn't appear to show the details including MAC addresses of the individial
NICs, only the aggregated link details (whose MAC address should match the
MAC of nge0 in my case, where I have nge0 and nge1).
