The question was more like: if I put in a QFE (that was acquired together with a SUN E250) into x86, would I get duplicate MACs? (Would be strange - I would have supposed the OF on the card is independent.)
You are not supposed to. Each HME instance should get a unique MAC. Normally OF would propagate this information around to the independant device nodes, and we should try to preserve this behavior for non-OF systems.
