If I'm not terribly mistaken, the problem is that both physical
interfaces are supposed to pick one of the ethernet addresses and use
it as the source MAC for all the traffic passed on the aggregate
logical interface.  Apparently, the bnx driver in NetBSD doesn't (yet)
have the ability to change the source MAC address.

Yep, I think that's correct.
