You are correct.  The original PAO code that I saw didn't have the
MAC address checks as a sanity check, which is why I suggested
removing it.  If the card does indeed work with the ed driver in PAO,
then I think we should just remove the MAC checks in -current because
this list is > 3 and we generally don't check elsewhere in the kernel
for sane addresses (the fe driver does, I know, but only for a limited
number of cards).
