Hello all,
I have this nice Sun quad fast ethernet card that I would like to use in
my Centos server. I have used it in the past on my old server without
problems.
When I insert it in my new server (Epox 8k3a AMD mobo, XP1800 processor)
I get the following messages in dmesg:

ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:00.1[B] -> GSI 5 (level, low) -> IRQ 5

eth3: Quattro HME slot 3 (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100baseT Ethernet

the MAC address for eth0 is correct, the other mac-adressess appear to
be random. 
I have been googling around, but have not been able to find a solution.
Does anybody hee have an idea what the problem migt be, or how to tackle
the problem?

for the record: I am running the 2.6.9-34.EL kernel, but had the problem
with older kernels as well.

As the card worked under Centos 4 on my Asus K7M mobo, it looks as a
mobo or bios problem, but I am not sure.
Any help is very much appreciated.

kind regards, Louis
