Actually, I don't think having the same IP for different MAC addresses
is supported on any OS or makes much sense: If you connect them to the
same switched network, a client asking for the IP's MAC will only get
one MAC returned (or gets confused because it gets both MACs) and will
use that MAC for the connection.

Maybe you can explain what you intend to do? If you try to increase
bandwidth by using 2 ethernet cards instead of one, you need some other
mechanism (that is implemented on the other side of the cable as well)
to achieve this.
