***Beginner Question*** How to configure hme1with unique MAC address

| Our Fujitsu 850 server is running Solaris 8. We have two interfaces,
hme0 and hme1. Each hme has unique valid address as defined in the
corresponding /etc/hostname.hmeX file. We noticed that both hme0 and
hme1 have the same MAC address. Could anyone explain how
this happens ? I'd like to configure hme1 with the correct MAC
address which it associated. Please let me know the steps to achieve
that without rebooting the server.
Much appreciated. Bill
# ifconfig -a
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500
index 2
inet 171.28.125.164 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 171.28.125.255
ether 0:0:e:22:26:3b
hme1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500
index 3
inet 171.28.125.165 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 171.28.125.255
ether 0:0:e:22:26:3b
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0
171.28.125.164
# cat /etc/hostname.hme1
171.28.125.165

I don't think you can do it without rebooting. See
<http://www.cymru.com/Documents/Sun/mac-change.txt> for the command to
configure how it does this at boot time.
