Old drivers for this device were showing each pair of bytes swapped in
the MAC address of one of my Ethernet cards.

What I see now is 00:02:E3:09:73:C0. What I used to see is
02:00:09:E3:C0:73. The difference came today, when I upgraded the box
from FC2 to FC3.

The "new" MAC address is consistent with a sticker on the card, so I
guess it is the correct one. Also, it agrees with what Windows 9x
reported when I used this card in a W9x box. Apparently FC3 has
cleared up a bug that the driver has had for several years.

Does anyone have a list of Ethernet vendor IDs  they can check against
this MAC address? That should tell for sure which is correct.




Per http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml:


Here are the results of your search through the public section of the IEEE Standards OUI database report for 00-02-E3:


________________________________________________________________________

00-02-E3   (hex)		LITE-ON Communications, Inc.
0002E3     (base 16)		LITE-ON Communications, Inc.
				736 S. Hillview Drive
				Milpitas CA 95035
				UNITED STATES

The byte swapped address does not find any matches. It's not Netgear
but who can tell anymore.



My Netgear cards (00-A0-CC) also show up as Lite-On in lspci and at the above Website.



And so did both of mine.
