But in a failover scenario you want two devices to have the same IEEE
(station) Address (or MAC Address or hardware address). So many names
for the same thing!
When the primary unit fails, you want the backup unit to completely
assume the failed unit's identity - right down to the MAC Address.

There still is a bug in the 3c59x driver. It doesn't include any code
to handle changing the mac address. It will work if you take the device
down, change address, then bring it up. But you shouldn't have to do that.
Also, if the driver handles setting mac address, it could have prevented
