If set to .Dq Li false (the default), the .Nm driver will use the system's default MAC address for all of its devices. If set to .Dq Li true , the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than the system's default MAC address. .Pp Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include the on-board Sun ERI 10/100 Mbps on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and the Sun Gigabit Ethernet 2.0/3.0 GBE add-on cards. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr altq 4 , .Xr miibus 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr vlan 4 , .Xr eeprom 8 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver appeared in .Nx 1.6 . The first .Fx version to include it was .Fx 5.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written for .Nx by .An Eduardo Horvath .Aq eeh@NetBSD.org . It was ported to .Fx by .An Thomas Moestl .Aq tmm@FreeBSD.org and later on improved by .An Marius Strobl .Aq marius@FreeBSD.org . The man page was written by .An Thomas Klausner .Aq wiz@NetBSD.org .
