Specifying/modifying the MAC of a virtual adapter

["Jojo Munkey" <Jojo_munkey () hotmail com>]

Hello to all you guys/gals, I have a couple questions about changing the
Media Access Code for a virtual adapter [and a physical adapter] in a
Windows XP environment.

I am aware of a tool that can make use of the NdisReadNetworkAddress
function, or rather, the particular registry extention in which it resides.
My problem originates from the fact the adapter I need to redesignate is a
virtual adapter miniport, so it doesn't initialize the 6-byte MAC the same
way as a physical adapter. Is there a way I can change the MAC for this
virtual device via a Windows DDK function call, or a way to edit the 6-byte
code that is stored in the stack?

I suspect the second way will be much easier, but getting access to a
running memory register, I have little experience with that. Any
tips/tools/pointers would be greatly appreciated. [I wish it was as simple
as my Linux box, one line would have been it..]
