i could not find better words for that!!

The solution would be to change the mac address on one of the interfaces
which cause the duplicates.
i agree
How this can be done usually is vendor specific.
is that really true ?
From the manpage of ifconfig:
hw class address
Set the hardware address of this interface, if the device
driver supports this operation.
... and the driver only supports it if the interface does. Most decent interface vendors do, but I know some el-cheapo brands don't ;)
what about: #>/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down #>/sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether DE:AD:BE:AF:00:00
hw is for change hardwareaddress, ether if for ethernet, DE:AD:... is the new mac address
but this is not a permanent change, the old mac is back on reboot :-)
Yup, so you'd need some scripting to fix this.
You'd just need to add a pre-up statement for the interface in /etc/network/interfaces
//Pierre Fagrell
However, each network interface should have a unique mac address by
default.
