Okay. Thanks for the reply. Let's hope my card has that too...
I have a 3Com model 3CXE589DT (the one with the XJack) The only thing I
can find resembling a MAC address on the card is a barcode printed onto
the metal on the back. It doesn't look like any MAC address I've ever
seen: 108E15G85UU0
I'll try it out though and report back :-)
Cross your fingers,
Matt
