Hi Vineet,

I don't know this ethernet controller, but if it does not have a
connection for a small EEPROM or something else, you will have to set up
an appropriated MAC address every time when you initialize your
controller. Maybe it will have a default address. But it is not
recommended to sell products with a not-unique default address. You can
order a MAC address block at http://www.ieee.org/ . A block with 16000
address costs about $500, I think.
