Hi All,

NIC = Intel 82559

WINNT → MAC = 00 D0 59 2B 66 DA
QNX 4 → MAC = 00 D0 59 2B 66 DA
QNX 6 → MAC = 00 B4 00 80 00 A6

Something is not good. Can somebody explain this???

How are you obtaining the MAC address in QNX 6? ifconfig -a?
Certainly my Intel based network card returns a MAC address
starting 00:0d

Hi Tom,

I am the ‘proud’ user of a Compaq E500. It has a internal Intel 82559 NIC.

I am using QNX 6.1 an invoking both ifconfig -a and nicinfo. Both come up
with “00 B4 00 80 00 A6”. I know this is the wrong address. But why it goes
wrong, I don’t know.
