What's happening is, it is showing up under one of the two MAC's: either 00:0a:cd:1a:c1:71 or 00:00:00:00:c1:71. If you reboot it the MAC stays the same; if you shutdown and do a full powerdown it seems to change.
I would say the card is probably dying and replace it.
Thanks.
That's possible, sure. I wonder though - it seems to work just fine when it's up, pretty fast, no abnormal error rate, it is brand new. But you could be right, of course.
I've tended to find that when a card is failing the MAC address starts setting itself to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF not 00:00:00:XX:XX:XX
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF is broadcast.
The first three bytes are Vendor ID on a MAC address, you haven't got anything in there that might fiddle with that? Is it an OEM card?
