Well not really. If the the "local mac address" flag in the OBP is set to false, then the multiple Ethernet cards on the system will use the system wide mac address. The problem I had before is that I had trouble assigning a unique mac address to each of a quad interfaces even when the eeprom parameter of "local mac address" is set to true. I should have worded the email right.
