	System      : OpenBSD 3.2
	Architecture: OpenBSD.powerpc
	Machine     : macppc

>Description:
I have a Digital DE500 (dc(4)) in my B&W G3. I noticed today that the MAC address is not reported correctly under OpenBSD/macppc. The MAC address as listed in various places (including an alpha that had the card in it before): printed on the card: 08002bc34a5d Mac OS X: DEC21x4: Ethernet address 08:00:2b:c3:4a:5d OpenBSD/macppc: dc0 at pci1 dev 3 function 0 "DEC 21142/3" rev 0x30: irq 24 address 00:08:c3:2b:5d:4a dcphy0 at dc0 phy 31: internal PHY OpenBSD/alpha: dc0 at pci0 dev 6 function 0 "DEC 21142/3" rev 0x30: eb164 irq 0 address 08:00:2b:c3:4a:5d dcphy0 at dc0 phy 31: internal PHY As you can see the fields on the OpenBSD/macppc are swapped: 08:00:2b:c3:4a:5d vs. 00:08:c3:2b:5d:4a
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a dc(4) (all? not sure) into a macppc. boot.
>Fix:
unknown to me at this point.
