Thats right, but the MAC isn't known until a card is detected as a
ethernet card of the right type by the driver.
And the driver also doesn't know wich address was at eth0 at the last
boot....
So if I am not mistaken pci cards (ethernet or grabber) are detected in
the same sequence each time the driver loads. Unless you switch the
cards.
