Infoworld reports that Western Digital has shipped as many as 100 if
its 8-bit Ethernet adapters with duplicate network addresses,
officials confirmed.
If running on the same network, the Western Digital EtherCard Plus
boards that received identical addresses will confuse the network
operating system, because all Ethernet cards are supposed to have a
unique address for identification.
Users who discover boards with duplicate addresses will receive a
replacement EtherCard Plus at no charge, according to company
officials in Irvine, Calif.
