Why should this be illegal?
You will run into problem when you try to connect both interfaces
(having athe same MAC address) to the same subnet, but why would you
want to do this?
For a common example just look at Sun workstations: they _all_ are
using the same MAC address for all ethernet interfaces there are in
one box...
