That doesn't mean there isn't. Ethernet NIC's have long (presumably since
the beginning) had the concept of having a "permanent" address (the one
you're familiar with), along with a "locally administered address" which is
settable via software. One of the 48 bits of the address distinguishes
between LAA's and permanent addresses. Most ethernet NIC drivers have a
place to set this on the advanced settings tab, but not all. I looked a few
years back at doing this in software, but there didn't seem to be an
official way. There was a place in the registry I was told that most cards
would look, but it was just "recommended" and not "required" so I never
followed up on it.
Apologies to the OP, I know this doesn't help with your issue, just wanted
to set the record straight for Ludwich.
