I had a similar issue with eternally empty MAC address field and got an official response from iRex stuff that the iLiad I am using is listed among "Chinese" at iDS. Chinese iLiads are simply refused developer access. In order to get the unlock package officially you have to own a device specially made for Europe (Language code 002) AND it must connect to European iDS server (different from the Chinese one). It should be possible to reconstruct the package from any unlocked device, but how are you going to install it?

If asked for an advice, I would propose to sell iLiad and get a DR1000 instead. It has faster hardware and open software for the same price. I temporarily have both and I love DR1000.
