The driver has to know whether to reverse the address or take it as-is from the EEPROM. Maybe the Windows driver you use is confused about your card's MAC address order. Check if there's a updated forcedeth driver for Windows available that could fix this problem. Please also let us know the MAC address used by Windows and how you determined the MAC address is in reverse in Windows. Is it the same order as in gPXE when you boot linux or some other Windows?
