Which byte do you change?  Don't touch the left-most one, as its bits
have special meaning.  When you say you 'set the MAC address', how do
you do it?  Does the 'Source Address' field in the ARP packet sent by
your board match the MAC address that you set?

Unicast addresses are compared to registers in the CPM, which may be
implemented in microcode but that's neither here nor there.
