So the only way to get this to work with the quad NIC is to set a Mac address for eth1 using ifconfig and restart networking service. So I've now automated this on boot by adding commands into the rc.local boot script, works a charm! DNS isn't working though, still no internet

@Gammitin I’m curious why you’re setting a MAC address. In case this is what you are seeing, the default behavior of Sun boxen is to share the MAC address across all NICs. This can be disabled by running “setenv local-mac-address? true” in OpenBoot.

@tildetodd this doesn't work in Linux on this box, I tried that but the quad NIC card was all zero'd out. I have to set the MAC for it to work properly for each boot, but I've automated it now.
