I could suspect this whole thing to be caused by a faulty NIC that sometimes reports a MAC-address, and sometimes doesn't. At install-time, it didn't and you ended up with 00:4c:69:6e:75:79 = "Linux". Sometime later the NIC did come up with a MAC-address, and YaST can't help but conclude you've got two NICs.
some nic cards facilitate the changing of mac addresses, maybe this is the case and the nic driver is "faulty" ??
I guess it's possible, but given the maturity of the tulip driver, I'd blaim the card first and the driver second. Still, a fake MAC-address = "Linux" is a bit odd - I wonder if it's the norm in NIC drivers, in which case YaST ought to know about it. /Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.13 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
