Source Address Storage Location within Data Link sublayers/firmware
1) Where is the burned-in address configured/located?
2) How is this requested or cited by MA_DATA.request?
3) How does the operating system through a simple command write to the firmware in Logical Link Control sublayer if the layer is specified to be independent from all above layers?

1. The MAC is "burned" onto the interface "card" somewhere. My guess is that it is on the same chip as the firmware for the card.
2. Try to get hold of the specs for the card, the ones you would need to write the driver. Get hold of the driver source code and have a look at it.
3. Don't know at the moment. Get hold of the IP stack code and have a look through it. Maybe the relevant RFC documents will tell you.
