The CDC-ECM specification [1] requires to send the host MAC address as an uppercase hexadecimal string in chapter "5.4 Ethernet Networking Functional Descriptor": The Unicode character is chosen from the set of values 30h through 39h and 41h through 46h (0-9 and A-F). However, snprintf(.., "%pm", ..) generates a lowercase MAC address string. While most host drivers are tolerant to this, UsbNcm.sys on Windows 10 is not. Instead it uses a different MAC address with all bytes set to zero including and after the first byte containing a lowercase letter. On Windows 11 Microsoft fixed it, but apparently they did not backport the fix. This change fixes the issue by upper-casing the MAC to comply with the specification.
