I don't know which machine and card you are using, but I found that
an le card in an IPC doesn't have its own MAC address: it simply takes
the address of the onboard ethernet (also le).

It may be that the only thing you can do is to change the ethernet
address in the NVRAM, rechecksum, and restart. Make sure you write
down all the original info so you can restore it!
