MAC addresses generated by VM are in the 00-04-AC range allocated to IBM,
they aren't guaranteed to be unique (hey, they're generated out of thin
air!) in the network universe. If y'all think that's a Real Problem,

QD method
Hi David,
You are correct... the capabilities flags for the QDIO simulation indicate
the adapter has
broadcast capabilities... and the qdio driver already knows what to do
about that.
From David Boyes:
Good. Do we need new versions of the drivers to enable support for the new
device

Duh, well I obviously ciphered something wrongly :)

Yep. ARP sends a broadcast, which everyone (on the
