Have 2 PCs on wireless architecture-type network. After a couple hours
of trying to get them to talk to each other (via a LinkSys WAG54G-UK
Gateway) I thought to check the MAC Addresses of both adapters.

Both LinkSys WMP54G PCI Adapters arrived with the exact same MAC
Addresses! No wonder. I changed one of the MAC addresses and
low-and-behold communication.

This was done by setting the WMP54G Locally Administered MAC Address
via the Adapter Properties Advanced Tab.

I've rebooted, reseated the PCI Adapter, deleted and reinstalled and
every other thing to see if the WLAN Monitor would report the locally
administered MAC address. No change. The WLAN Monitor still reports
the INCORRECT MAC Address.

I can live with it myself and have reported it to LinkSys
International and thought to share this info in the hope it will be
helpful to someone that runs into the same problem.
