Sun follows the ethernet standard, where the ethernet address is
assigned to the system, not the card. This only causes problems if
you connect multiple interfaces to the same segment or switch. IBM
didn't assign their systems ethernet addresses so the card
manufacturers needed to put an address on each card.
Some later sun cards and systems have a openboot option to enable card
addresses, but I think your system predates this.

Looks like a 100-megabit hub.

Lance cards are 10 megabit, are you trying to hook it to a 100 megabit
only hub?

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
