If you have a host and a router with the same MAC address, how do you suppose ethernet will continue to work? Instead, rather do it right - your modem has a dhcp server. Configure it to supply a specific address to your host's MAC address. Or, just set the address statically in /etc/conf.d/net and don't use dhcp. Or, do you actually want to bridge the modem and do pppoe on the host instead of by the modem? in /etc/conf.c/net: mac_key_001122334455="s:foobar" documented in /usr/share/doc/netifrc*/net.example.bz2 If you use a different network manager, consult that packages own docs on how to change mac addresses. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
