Oh, it's the truth - trust me. There was an Interop show (back when
it really was an Interoperability event) that was made quite enjoyable
for the network staff by that set of NIC cards....

of 3com NIC's that all went out with the same MAC from the factory. I
never found out if that was a rumor/urban legend or the truth. Anyone
know firsthand or have an article about that?

there and torn out my already scarce hair, duplicate MAC addresses can
really mess up your day...

Just when you thought this couldn't happen any more...
Copying from a different email list...
mac address 04:4b:80:80:80:03, was showing up in multiple places
across the network. I googled the mac address and discovered that
other people are having the same issue with this mac address. Below
are some links describing the problem:
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=22148

I just wanted everyone to know about this problem in case you run
across similar slow "connectivity" issues. I believe the network card
is made by NVIDIA.
