Greetings,
With most modern servers now coming with 2 (or 3) NIC's built in, datacenter managers are starting to rely on MAC addresses again to start keeping track of where computers are plugged in. This patch simply extends the new hosts_profiles MAC address entry to support up to 4 NIC cards per host. This extension is acheived by renaming the macaddress field to macaddress0, along with the addition of macaddress[1-3]. Very minor changes to the php fronend code were required to make acheive this.
