Thanks for the tip.  Sadly, the MAC address is in there correctly.


Do you have a fairly explicit setup in /etc/network/interfaces, or did the helpful-but-rather-secretive Gnome Network Mangler offer to do everything?  I tend to set up wired Ethernet explicitly, but let Gnome or whatever have its way with a wireless interface, if applicable...  At least it stays out of the way if you have specified a system-wide network setup.
