OID_802_3_CURRENT_ADDRESS still “works” on MobileBroadband, in the sense that NDIS will happily tell you whatever the miniport reported in its NDIS_MINIPORT_ADAPTER_GENERAL_ATTRIBUTES structure. But since the protocol doesn’t have to stick the MAC address into outgoing packets, there’s probably nobody who would really mind if the NIC just reported all 0’s there. If you’re seeing all zeros in that field, compare it to “ipconfig /all”.

Note that protocols also get the current MAC address in NDIS_BIND_PARAMETERS. It’s the same value as would be returned from OID_802_3_CURRENT_ADDRESS.

Also, while composing this reply, I just noticed that !ndiskd has a bug and will *always* report all 0’s for the “MAC Address” of MobileBroadband devices. I’ll get that fixed for the next version.
