My SIS900 NIC hardware address is not correctly recognized, so I've added line in to /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
        hw ether 00:0b:6a:3a:30:a6

This worked well with 6.10 but not with fresh installed Feisty. Ifconfig says that hardware address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and because of this dhcp cannot assign correct IP.
I know SIS900 auto conf has problems but why does not the manual hw-address line in /etc/network/interfaces work in Feisty?
