I have a skystar2 card, and I just tested it with a 2.6.7 kernel (as
installed in a Slackware 10).

I can confirm that ifconfig shows 00:00:00:00:00:00 as a MAC address. I
guess the driver fails to read the MAC address from the eeprom (or
something similar)?

Does anyone know how to read the MAC address of a skystar2 card?

			Thanks,
