Hi,

  Here's an output of my ifconfig:

de0: flags=ca43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 146.164.5.200 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 146.164.5.255
	ipx 92a405c0.8002be463b5 
	ether 08:00:2b:e4:63:b5 
vx0: flags=8a43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 146.164.63.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 146.164.63.255
	ipx 92a43f00.60H 
	ether 00:60:97:a7:ab:42 
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
	inet 146.164.63.193 netmask 0xffffffff 

Why does the vx0 interface gets the .60H node address instead of 006097a7ab42 ?

This happens also on another machine:

vx0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 146.164.63.6 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 146.164.63.255
	ipx 92a43f00.60H 
	ether 00:60:97:a7:50:68 
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 

Of course, there's a conflict, because two cards cannot have the same
address, at least in the same network.

Both cards are 3Com 3c905.  Maybe this is a problem especific to it ?
