Issues

These motherboards ship with a flawed BIOS that reverses the bytes in the MAC address. Further it reverses some of the nibbles in some of the MAC address bytes, so a byte with 'f4' becomes '4f'. All of this plays havoc with anyone wanting to set-up an ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus as a diskless client. Version 0602 of the BIOS, released 2008/11/04 does fix this issue and is a must have upgrade for anyone wanting to use this motherboard as a diskless client.

Bottom line is that this motherboard can be considered for use as a diskless client
