Missing Hardware Tab for VM Display, same MAC

[apmuthu]

# pveversion -v

pve-manager: 1.3-1 (pve-manager/1.3/4023)
qemu-server: 1.0-14
pve-kernel: 2.6.24-8
pve-kvm: 86-3
pve-firmware: 1
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve3
vzdump: 1.1-2
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1

On clicking the VM in the VM List page, we get to the VM Details page where I find that the Hardware tab is missing. Hence I cannot see the MAC addres allotted to the machine. Using venet(eth0) setting in creating a new VM results in the allotment of the same MAC address as the Host when seen from the router that shows the device list (Tomato FW v1.25 on router).

The pve-kvm seems newer than the one in the wiki since apt-get update / dist-upgrade was done. Anything broken in the build / updates?

The corresponding configuration file is:

:/etc/vz/conf# cat 101.conf

a venet does not have a mac address. See:
