Please log in for more thread options For accessing Internet, I am using ADSL modem with USB interface. How this USB interface is getting MAC address? Is it dynamic or static? I can understand that the ADSL modem with Ethernet interface has a unique MAC address. - Krisunela | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options It is probably programmed into the modem driver, and may be accessible from driver config/mgmt screens. Often there is a "clone MAC" button or manual MAC entry box. > I can understand that the ADSL modem with Ethernet interface
