Sure, the VF are listed as NICs of their own, what's isn't listed is the 
VF info from the PF NIC link info, e.g here's the casewhere its working, 
on kernel 3.8.8-- my problem isn't the MAC misalignment

8: eth11: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state 
DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
     link/ether 00:1b:21:55:1d:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     vf 0 MAC 00:11:00:11:00:11, spoof checking on
9: eth10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP
