Actually the 'proper' way to do this is to change a setting in 
openboot. Unfortunately I don't recall the exact setting, it's 
something like Use_Own_MAC_ID or something or other like that. It's set 
to false by default, if it's set to true than the onboard hme0 (if 
there is one) will use the machine's default Mac address, but each 
additional card will use it's own mac address.
