system/3091: Failure to use hardwired NIC MAC address

net
>Environment:
        

	System      : OpenBSD 3.2
	Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
	Machine     : i386

>Description:

	dmesg lists the proper MAC address from the on-board network card.
	However, after system boot-up, a default MAC address is used
	instead (00:fe:e1:ba:d0:a7). This is a major problem when you have
	identical hardware on the same subnet.

>How-To-Repeat:

	This problem is consistent over reboots and idential hardware.
	In my experience this has only happened when using the sis network
	card driver.

>Fix:

	Unknown.

>Release-Note:
