What about DHCP? It supports MAC-specific configurations.

Very good point, except in my case, this machine would be the dhcp server.
You could run scripts to set the IP address based on the MAC with this
in each hostname.axenN file:
!/path/to/script axeN
And then write that script to pick the IP address based on the MAC.

Brilliant! That's the kind of thing I normally think of, but I hadn't
yet. I wish I had thought of this before I ordered adapters using
different drivers on impulse. Still, this is an idea I will probably use
at some point. Thank you!
