Glad to hear it.

See the article posted by Andrew Tyson in this thread. He provided the
needed parameters for modifying the OBP settings, which should solve the
identical MACADDR problem.

ethers(4) does not seem to deal with the problem of the same ethernet
addresses on 2 or more ethernet interfaces. Best to modify the OBP
local-mac-address? setting or as a second choice to use ifconfig qe0
ether.
