PowerBook 3400, wrong HWaddr (MAC) found for NIC

I have just installed ydl 2.1, and it prevailed where others failed.

Almost everything works perfect, but I'm having some problems getting
network working. I'm connected to a LAN, and access is restricted by the
NIC's MAC address. MacOS9 reports 00:05:02:26:4c:0d, and has access to the
network, Linux reports 00:a0:40:64:32:b0 and does not work.

This is what dmesg says (shorted a bit):

Linux tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre pci: enabling device......(cut)
pci: enabling bus mastering .......(cut) 
tulip0: 21041 Media table, default media ffff (Autosense) 
tulip0: 21041 media #0, 10baseT.
tulip0: 21041 media #1, 10base2.
tulip0: 21041 media #2, AUI.
eth0: Digital DC21041 Tulip rev 17 at 0xc6224000, 21041 mode,
00:A0:40:64:32:B0, IRQ 28

I have tryed with the default ydl 2.1 kernel (2.4.10-12a) and
2.4.19-pre6-ben0, and they both produce the same HWaddr. 

HW: PowerBook 3400c, 80Mb ram, 3GB hd, standart NIC
