I had serious problems with Intel eepro100 AOL cards.
All Cards used to report same MAC address with the default
driver even in kernel 2.2.14.
Download the latest driver and recompile your kernel.
The driver is available at
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/eepro100.html
Probably your problems will go away.
