Oh ... I figured out the problem: The named error message appears if my notebook's WLan chip is turned off. Activating the WLan device will keep the itk application running ... what a strange thing.

I guess the reader/writer needs a MAC address to intantiate. When the WLan chip is deactivated the device seems to be not present. So the requeste for the MAC address fails. 

How could I convince ITK to use the ethernet card instead the WLan card to retrieve a MAC address?
