Yes
Actually, that pretty much has to be the case, otherwise your firewall
couldn't see both MAC addresses.
The both subnets are defined on the fw.

I'll hazard a guess that you're seeing an artifact of the fact that
Linux assigns an IP address to the host, not the interface (in spite of
what ifconfig says), so if a packet comes to 10.10.10.2 then either
interface will happily respond to it.  See:

I do find myself curious about just how your network is wired up...

Actually, I have two hardware and one of them is two-in-one card. I did down the one of them and I'll monitor a bit time.
