Not much of an expert on this I'm afraid. Some (most?) NICs as of quite a while ago (5,10?yrs) can have their MAC addresses changed. I haven't heard of a NIC having two MAC addresses. There are public and private MAC addresses just like there are public and private IPs, but I don't know that that helps you. I think there was a scheme where MAC addresses could be shifted from one NIC to another, for failover, but this was only for a limited number of NICs, so I don't think the scheme went anywhere. Whether the NIC had two MACs or not in any of the states I don't know.
