IRX-211 forgets its ethernet address...

Today our net was down for about an hour after our IRX-211 decided
that its ethernet address was 0:0:0:0:0:0.

Rebooting it solved the problem.

I think this may have been caused by me accidentally ifconfig'ing
a dup ethernet address into a Sun on the same network.

It would be nice if the ifconfig command allowed one to set the
ethernet address (just like the unix version).
