NIC physical address is FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
I'm having the same problem. When I uninstall the nic, and then add it the MAC address returns, but when I reboot it goes again - any ideas?

Re: NO Connectivity-Physical Address: FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
In that case, I'd suspect drivers.

Re: NO Connectivity-Physical Address: FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Hmm... well I updated the drivers, and still no joy... One thing I did find is that when I hit f12 at boot up, and make it boot the nic, it seems to work. So it's like it's not initialising the card when booting the machine.

Re: NIC physical address is FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
I've separated your thread from the other, it's going to get too confusing.
 Did you try resetting the system BIOS to factory defaults?
