[K12OSN] multiple NICs

[Doug Simpson]

Get the MAC addresses for the interfaces and look in ifconfig and match 
them up. Write the MAC address on the exterior of the computer somewhere 
close to the interfaces.

One way to find out is to just plug one interface into a network that is 
running dhcp and let it get a number that way and then run ifconfig and 
get the MAC address and mark it on the exterior of the computer close the 
it's interface.
