Macronix MX98715 packet driver returns always MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 ? #328

I know, problems with the packet driver are not primarily a problem of mtcp, but I need to set the MAC address manually, and I have no source for the packet driver (may be I can disassemble it with "Sourcer", but then I still have no clue of it).
Is there a way to set the MAC address manually (e.g. in the mtcpcfg file) ?
These MX98715 PCI cards (3 of them) are integrated in the (Watchguard FB1000) mainboard, and I have no chance to replace them.
The original Linux kernel (2.0.3.3) which ran with the Firebox does support the MX98715 cards, but I replaced the internal flash memory content with DOS. I am able to transfer files with MSKERMIT and the help of the serial port to and from the Watchguard, but I have not enough free space to install a whole development environment, so if there a chance to modify the source code of mtcp for the above described purpose, I have to do this elsewhere. I've found also an issue entry #51 with a similar problem, but I am not sure if this can be solved in exactly the same manner.
