Thats a lot of MAC.

Hi People,
Thankz for all those suggestions and ideas.

I’ ll go with Evan, Daniel and others with respect to the querying of MAC
Address by the different APIs available.

Actually, I went through the NE2000 and the E100BEX miniport drivers in the
Win2K DDK. If you see in samples, both of the driver’s cards vary in their
hardware specification. But irrespective of that, both the drivers have
implemented the OID_802_3_PERMANENT_ADDRESS and OID_802_3_CURRENT_ADDRESS.

This shows that, irrespective of the harware, a miniport driver writer has
to reply to these standard queries. So, I suppose, that indirectly all the
APIs access the MAC Address through these OIDs.

Also as suggested by Alberto, it would be better if the MAC address was made
a part of the standard PCI header. This would standardize the accessing of
the MAC Address.

Thankz,
Mohasin.
