YES you can !!!
I do not know exactly how, but I asume that your laptop use a
pcmcia-NIC which you can not change... like my 3c589D-Combo.
But you can change your 3c905C in your PC, - if you run Linux there !
I do not know exactly how, but you must set your 3c905C to the same
as the pcmcia-NIC.

Hmmm, there was someone for more then two years which had told me,
that I must change the MAC after the NIC was loaded and before the
the Network is initialized...
