Docking station MAC address has changed

Question

Hi,

I have about 50 docking station, Dell Dock – WD19S, when I connect the docking station to the laptop the mac address is the same that the on the bottom of the equipment, however after I install the docking station driver, the mac address change completely, I just saw this problem this week, and most of the laptop I use is Latitude 5420.

Please don't tell me the MAC is flashed onto the network adapter and can't be changed, because I repeated the test 5 times to make sure that I wasn't crazy.
