Interestingly, if booting NOT via PXE the Ethernet address is OK! nfe0: <NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP13 Networking Adapter> port 0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 0xfe02c000-0xfe02cfff irq 22 at device 20.0 on pci0 nfe0: Ethernet address: 00:18:f3:a9:6c:57 and via PXE: nfe0: Ethernet address: 57:6c:a9:f3:18:00 can someone with the right knowledge fix this? thanks, danny
