Hello,

Recently we've got some computers with new motherboard having NVidia 
chipset. The motherboard has nforce12 & nforce13 Ethernet cards. I've 
noticed that MAC address is setup random each boot. I debugged the 
driver and found that these cards have right-byte order of MAC address 
but the driver is expecting incorrect byte-order for these models. I 
made hardcode the driver and MAC address became valid. Also I tried  to 
understand that difference in this revision of the chipset. But I 
couldn't find anything interesting. I'm ready continue the investigation 
to do correct changes in the driver but I need an advice.

P.S. It's simple to add DEV_HAS_CORRECT_MACADDR to pci_device_tlb for 
these types of Ethernet. But I think it's not right decision because it 
would break older revisions of these models.
