	While testing ethernet things, I discovered that the
impossible has happened.  I have two ethernet cards with the same
ethernet (raw) address.  Actually, it's highly unlikely that this is
true, but I get the following from my messages file (and on boot):

Mar 11 23:49:05 repeat /netbsd: mainbus0 (root)
Mar 11 23:49:05 repeat /netbsd: cpu0 at mainbus0: SUN-4/200 series (L64802 or ACT8847 FPU)
Mar 11 23:49:05 repeat /netbsd: cpu0: 131072 byte write-back, 16 bytes/line, sw flush cache enabled
Mar 11 23:49:05 repeat /netbsd: obio0 at mainbus0
Mar 11 23:49:06 repeat /netbsd: ie0 at obio0 addr 0xf6000000 pri 6 address 08:00:20:06:ac:a6, type onboard
Mar 11 23:49:06 repeat /netbsd: vmel0 at mainbus0
Mar 11 23:49:06 repeat /netbsd: vmes0 at mainbus0
Mar 11 23:49:06 repeat /netbsd: ie1 at vmes0 addr 0xffe88000 vec 0x75 pri 5 address 08:00:20:06:ac:a6, type multibus/vme

	Now... I don't know if this is a causing a problem (my
previously posted problems are reproducable without the two cards
installed), but this certainly says something interesting about our
driver.

Dave.
