1. Get a card that accepts non-multicast MAC addresses in its hardware
filter. eepro100, tulip, starfire will do. 3c59x won't (well newer cards
have the capability, but the driver doesn't support it).
2. Apply the attached patch and enable "Ethernet Virtual MAC support".
3. Tell the card about your VMAC using ipmaddr.
The patch slows down the fast receive patch, I know, but I don't see
a way around it. It's against 2.4.recent, I haven't looked at 2.2.

It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool,
than to open it and remove all doubt.
