Applicable to: World-Wide
Problem:
When using the preloaded INTEL PROSet ethernet utilities, the user may notice that the local MAC address, or LAA (Locally Administered Address) is not available as a configurable parameter.
This missing parameter is a known limitation of the current INTEL ethernet driver, file name Q37T07A.EXE.
Fix:
The ability to change the local MAC address, or LAA, will be included in a future update if the INTEL ethernet device driver. Users can check for the availability of the updated driver by searching on "Intel Ethernet 6562, 6592."
When available, the updated driver may be downloaded via the Internet from the IBM Personal Computer File Library by searching the following internet URL:

The updated driver may also be obtained from the IBM Personal Systems Group BBS system by calling 919-517-0001.
