The MAC (Media Access Control) address is usually associated with the hardware that performs the network communication. In the case of a PC it is on the card installed in the PC or in the chip integrated into the system board.
In the case of the TX the MAC address is integrated into chip set on the device itself. Since it is part of the TX, you will see the MAC address printed on the back of the Palm.
The T has Bluetooth, but the TX uses both Bluetooth (BT) and wireless 802.11b (WiFi). Both BT & WiFi use a unique 48 bit (or 12 digit hexadecimal (0-9, and/or A-F) number) unique address. Since the formatting of these addresses are the same I would think that this address is used for both BT & WiFi on the TX.
In the case of a SDIO card, the MAC address resides on this card instead and and is usually printed on a label that is visable on the card. As a result, you would have two MAC addresses, one on the card and one in the T; and both are unique.
You would need to check your model to see if it supports any externally installed (SDIO) device. My guess is that the "T" does not support Wi-Fi since it is not listed on the
Wi-Fi Card Support Page. (see the Q&A section).
Although the processor is the same for the T as for some of the older WiFi supported models (E2 for example), there may be an issue with the limited amount of RAM installed, or possibly there is no device support in the older level of hardware itself.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
