Have you tried power cycling the machine? That may restore the old
address.

I've had a look at the tulip driver, and the AMDtek Comet is treated
differnetly from all other tulip-type cards in that the driver appears
not to read the MAC address from an eeprom. This probably saves 20 cents
or something. Amazing.

I think you'll enjoy your xen experience rather better if you spend
twenty bucks on a  ethernet card...

Best,
Ian
