Ethernet MAC Address Rested to 00:00:00:00:00:00
After upgrading to Leopard, everything was fine for the first day or so, then I notice that the ethernet connections disappered and I can no longer connected to my LAN using Cat-5.
After doing clean installs and even downgraded back to Tiger, it seems to me that OS X no longer detects my on board ethernet and I can no longer connect to my network with it.
However, the weird part is that the card works perfectly when I use it in Bootcamp, under windows xp. It gets it s ip via dhcp and everything is happy there...
After a bit more investigation using ipconfig /all, I found that the MAC address for the on board NIC is now changed to 00:00:00:00:00:00... could this be why it is not detected in OS X? and if so, is there ANYWAY to get it back?
