I had the same problem with checking the MAC addr. Perhaps we should call a reset
after we do that? That might fix it. I'll take a look at it tommorow. This week has
been a bitch, so i haven't even looked at it all week.
I'll also take a look at the other problem. I'm not sure at all what causes that...
Thanks for giving such good help!
