That's a good sign.

Huh.  It's amazing what you get for $10 on Ebay these days *8-)  Only eth0
is plugged in right now.  Okay, it's somewhat lengthy:

There it is, verbatim.

I mis-spoke -- I know for certain that it's a module, and that it's
insmod'd.  It was the "probe-backwards" switch I didn't know how to set.

Personally, if the backwards listing of MAC address isn't hurting
anything, I'd just as soon not change anything.  If you disagree, then by
all means I can tweak things on that end.
