The MAC hardware address published by your driver is invalid.
Or a bug which magicly corrupt any ARP packets sent/received thru
this driver! ;-)
Did you check under another OS your own test card MAC address,
to see if your driver get_the_MAC_address code get you the same value?
You can check, too, what MAC address you pass to net_server by
source debbuging (bdb) net_server and stop in your net_server addon
EtherDevice::Address() method.
