    Hi,
    look at http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html -> Section 6: Running -> Q&A No.
    20.
    IMHO the best FAQ on the Network for Sparc with Linux!

    I believe, Linux have big Problems with the same MAC on multiple eth's
    because this may confuse ARP-algorythms and other Network-relatet things
    (Firewalls, router, ... ) and may be the reason for slow networktrafics and
    TCP/IP-Errors on Sparcs with Linux too. But i'm not shure, sorry.
    Please excuse my bad english.

    Best Regards

    Rolf Diesing
