[CoLoCo] Multiple Network Interfaces, one card?

[David Overcash]

That's the problem that I think we failed to explain.  A MAC address is a
unique identifier given to each networking card (whether it be wireless or
wired), and each device is supposed to have only one per port (or antenna if
you are wireless).

So you can have two different IP addresses, if you have two different cards
to create two interfaces on.
