what happens when your 'router' and your 'laptop' both have the
same MAC address?

When the system boots, it will read rc.conf, and then
it will pass the ifconfig_inf="..." to ifconfig, so
what I do is just to add ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff to
that line:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.0.0.0 ether aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"
