Gera,

Your the Squeak Device Driver God!!!!  :)

Your instructions on the squeaksource page work perfectly and I can 
initialize the device, see the flag change form 128 -> 3 and also query the 
buffer with all results being returned by the inspector in decimal.  Totally 
cool!!!

I was looking around the buffer and what I find is interesting is that 
sections 7,8 and 9 in the buffer are all derivatives of the source MAC 
address.  That is:

In this example the source MAC address performing ping:  00-50-56-C0-00-08

self buffer unsignedLongAt: 8 => Decimal 1448083711  >>  Hex 56 50 00 FF
self buffer unsignedLongAt: 7 => Decimal 3226882048  >>  Hex C0 56 50 00
self buffer unsignedLongAt: 8 => Decimal 12605008    >>  Hex  C0 56 50
self buffer unsignedLongAt: 9 => Decimal 134266966   >>  Hex  8 00 C0 56
self buffer unsignedLongAt: 10 => Decimal 134742208   >>  Hex 80800C0

So you could say all of 9 and three bytes of 8 make up the MAC address but I 
need to test that with a different PC/MAC to see if each byte positioned in 
the same place.
