The BIOS will write to the mac address register. The address will be
written in reverse order.

(Why does the BIOS have to write it out in reverse order? Seems a bit
odd to my simple mind!)

This bug has already been fixed in the PXE code. Can you let me know
what version of PXE you are running (it should display the version on
the screen during boot up)?

I was booting with "Nvidia Boot Agent 240.0532" when I encountered this issue.
