No? On our Linux Red Hat ES 4 Systems, they can:

# ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:60:0B:8E:9A
          inet addr:10.152.105.86  Bcast:10.152.107.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
#

And in the vax.ini file, the NI is configured as:

; attach Ethernet to Network interface
set XQ mac=08-00-2B-AC-AC-B1
set XQ type=DELQA
att XQ eth0
;

So I'd guess this is the same network card, isn't it?
