Sorry for the late reply, I'm sorting through queued mail from the holidays.

IIRC, the MAC address is pulled from the on-board EEPROM and written to the PHY by U-Boot. If your EEPROMs all have the same data (I think this happened with some clone boards) or your boot loader isn't properly setup, you could see identical MAC addresses. I have had no issues with a large number of (Circutco) built BeagleBone boards here. I usually have 3 or 4 online at any given time, and each one has a unique MAC. I also don't believe the Linux driver for the on-chip Ethernet supports modifying the MAC address, so setting this in /etc/network/interfaces (or otherwise using standard networking commands like "ip link set") isn't an option. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
