 Option is also to define your own `HAL_ETH_MspInit` function,
 you then have to add **USE_USER_DEFINED_HAL_ETH_MSPINIT** macro.
 
+To change the default MAC address in STM32,

 ### Asynchronous SPI limitation
 
 The current Asynchronous SPI implementation will not be able to support high speeds (MHz Range).
