SYMPTOMS
This problem occurs on an NE3200 Network card that has had a Locally Administered Address (LAA) assigned to it.

If an adapter reset is issued to the card, the card will no longer accept packets sent to its LAA. However, it will still transmit packets using its LAA and will still process any broadcast/multicast packets that it sees.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the LAA is not correctly rewritten to the adapter after an NdisReset is issued.

This problem only occurs with the NDIS 3.0 miniport driver included with Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51. The non-miniport driver included with Windows NT 3.1 does not have this problem.
