Hi,

I'm replacing our current USR firewall/router to a current release
Bering box. I need to change the wan nic mac address (eth0) on the
Bering box to ensure I get the same IP number back from my ISP. I was
able to change it if I had set eth0 to static with the additional
hwaddress line in the interfaces file:

iface eth0 inet static
        address 12.34.56.78
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 12.34.56.255
        gateway 12.34.56.78.1
        hwaddress ether address 00:00:00:00:00:00

but the same line has no effect if eth0 is set for dhcp:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
   hwaddress ether address 00:00:00:00:00:00

How do I set the mac address if eth0 is set to dhpc mode?

Thanks,
Stephen
