Old drivers for this device were showing each pair of bytes swapped in the MAC address of one of my Ethernet cards.
What I see now is 00:02:E3:09:73:C0. What I used to see is 02:00:09:E3:C0:73. The difference came today, when I upgraded the box from FC2 to FC3.
The "new" MAC address is consistent with a sticker on the card, so I guess it is the correct one. Also, it agrees with what Windows 9x reported when I used this card in a W9x box. Apparently FC3 has cleared up a bug that the driver has had for several years.
Does anyone have a list of Ethernet vendor IDs they can check against this MAC address? That should tell for sure which is correct.

From LSPCI:
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev 20) Subsystem: Netgear FA310TX Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10 I/O ports at b000 [size=256] Memory at d7801000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
lsmod reports the tulip driver present.
I am putting this on the list so that anyone else who uses this (or a similar) card won't be caught and surprised as I was.
