Alternate Ethernet Addresses

The device drivers support the device's hardware address as the network address or an alternate network address configured through software. When an alternate address is used, any valid Individual Address can be used. The least significant bit of an Individual Address must be set to zero. A multicast address cannot be defined as a network address. Two configuration parameters are provided to provide the alternate Ethernet address and enable the alternate address.
