Description of problem:
When I boot my laptop *without* my 802.11b wireless pcmcia card
inserted I get the following:

"Device eth1 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring."

When it should read:

"Device eth1 not present, ignoring."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.93.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove wireless card that has an onboot policy of "yes"
2. reboot

Actual Results:  "Device eth1 has different MAC address than expected,
ignoring."

Expected Results:  "Device eth1 not present, ignoring."

Any comments on this bug? It's a easyfix with patch.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2005-04-15 19:40:53 UTC 
Slightly different fix in 8.08-1; you want to just drop out of the FOUNDMACADDR
processing and proceed to the later block.
