How can 2 nics from different companies have the same mac address .... I don't think that is possible. each card needs a separate MAC address, at least the way I understand networking.
I agree with Doug and Johnny. My belief is that every NIC in the world is supposed to have a unique MAC address. Although the OP has been using these boards without problems, I suspect there is a defect on the boards.
