   Oups, this sounds like some black talk to me. Do you mean
the HWaddr fields. These are different to my eyes. Yes, I
plan on putting both interfaces on the same network
192.168.200.xxx, but is that a problem. I am not sure about
what trunking on the switch means.

   I will dig into that later on, but a short test I just
did seems to do the expected thing.

   Best Regards.
