I've seen a bunch at the default addresses, probably about
half the ones I've seen actually. I've even been lucky enough to
put two different ethernet cards in one machine at the defaults
and have them both work (no conflicts, both found).
As I mentioned before, the FreeBSD -c option gives
you a way to get around this until you can build your own kernel
with different defaults...
