[cisco-voip] IP Communicator and MAC Addresses.

[Ted Nugent]

You peaked my curiosity so I had to upgrade and see
what you were referring to... I still do not have the
problem that you explained. I can select anyone of the
5 NIC interfaces on my laptop (as long as they're not
disabled) and they auto-reg with CM fine and only my
wireless is active. Can you provide some more details
outlining your issue?
