What are you plugging into?  Linksys switch?

What do you have in your /ibmcom/lantran.log?  Do you get an actual MAC address bound to the adapter?  i.e. WRAPPER hardware init successfull MAC : XXXXXX:XXXXXX?
I am connected to a D-Link Wireless Router.  Lantran.log shows the 000000:000000.

OK, just my random jumping in to confuse things... ;-)

Is it possible that there is a setting in the router that masks or
hides the MAC?

Another possibility:  The router has a setting that is forcing the MAC
to all zeros.

Now, back to my shell...

Not the router.  Just ran a netstat -n from this machine (M50), and the output was normal with a MAC address.
