So I'm rebuilding my smoothwall box with some new hardware, and to my
suprise, all my NICs are showing
up with the MAC address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.  I can't seem to
distinguish one from another.

It's detecting the nics as an Intel Ii82557 EtherExpressPro, using the
eepro100 module.  I see a lot of
google hits with folks running into the same thing.  Module issue?

I can fix the mac's with ifconfig on bootup, but that doesn't help me
during setup because I don't know which
nic is for which interface.  :/

Any advice?
