It seems to assign the second NIC's MAC to all FF's.  The eepro100
driver for Linux also fails:  It reports a bad checksum on the eeprom.
I already sent a bug report to the linux kernel developers about that one,
and it has the gory details if you want to see them...

Note that eth3 seems to be some generic (unknown??) 8255* chipset,
where the other one is more specifically identified...


Here are the e100 driver loading messages:
