19.6.6 Ethernet MAC Individual Address 0 (MACIA0) Register, offset 0x014
The Ethernet MAC Individual Address 0 (MACIA0) register enables software to program the first four bytes
of the hardware MAC address of the Network Interface Card (NIC). The last two bytes are in MACIA1. The
6-byte Individual Address is compared against the incoming Destination Address fields to determine
whether the frame should be received
