Looks like addresses are close.
So-so; not *that* close. I have some servers with two on-board NIC's whose MAC addresses end in things like fe:ab, fe:ac, fe;36, fe:37. Still....
Actually, I missed the beginning of this thread. Are there no on-board NICs? I've not seen a m/b in a long time without that; even Rasberry Pi has one.
There is an on board nic with the m/b. Here is the mac entry of it.
<snip> Are those in use? If not, why not use them?

Mark,
I have the m/b nic set as the external (open to the internet) card. The pci-e nic was set for the internal network card. I had this machine set to be a gateway for the rest of the internal machines. I only have two nics on this system, eth0 and eth4. The reason it is labeled eth4 is related to some installation problems I had during the installation of the pci-e card. Once I got eth4 to work, I have been too lazy to go back and modify things to relabel it as eth1. Now that it is failing, I am glad I left it alone.
