The response to the original poster about giving a specified MAC was obviously assuming that the original poster was reflashing the BIOS *on the NIC*. This is unlikely, but it is quite command for NICs to come up with a NULL MAC if their internal flash is blown away/not updated properly. This is highly unlikely to be the case here, however. My suspicion is that the original mail was simply about updating the main system BIOS, not the additional flash chip, and that something is very wrong with the card - is it on board, or an adapter?
