I'm not convinced Linksys are at fault here, but I may well ask them. In this day and age, there is no excuse for manufacturing kit with identical hardware addresses. Unless we've run out
So, if a user had had their MAC address cloned, the outcome would be different to the new PC / rebuild / ping-pong match I described above?

You may be interested to know that a while ago a large batch of motherboards were dispatched with ethernet ports that all had the same MAC address. If memory serves it caused some problems for Virgin Media, or ntl as they were then known.
