Hi, 
I know this sounds crazy but it's true :D! I did some test on PC's in my work with Jaunty i386 LiveCD because I wanted to see which PC I can migrate to Ubuntu. But first some backround information! In my work we have an Mac-adress restricted network. So I try to boot the PC from livecd and I recognized that I got no network connection. So I did an ifconfig. This showed that on both PC's (they've quite the same hardware) the Mac-adress is mirror-inverted. They should be:

00:13:8F:XX:XX:XX but they are XX:XX:XX:8F:13:00

That's no big deal because I can change the Mac with "sudo ifconfig eth0
hw ether <new MAC>".  Someone else seen this before?
