PowerBook 3400, wrong HWaddr (MAC) found for NIC

[Kurt Sheffer]

What version of the MacOS were you running? You might want to see Apple 
technote #18731:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18731
Which describes the answer to the following: "After installing System 
7.5 Update 2.0 (System 7.5.3) I noticed the Ethernet hardware address of 
the computer changed from 00:A0:40:xx:xx:xx to 00:05:02:xx:xx:xx."

Your machine is not listed among those affected, but the problem sounds 
so similar...
Long story short, some NICs manufatured circa 1995 had their MAC address 
stored in the wrong format,
