you're welcome. i didn't quite grok where you are now. did changing the switch statement fix your problem entirely? also, i didn't get if you have a two port card or not. (btw: a mac address of ffffffffffff is not the default. this is the eeprom returning read errors. i would imagine all bits in the eeprom block are set.) - erik
