| Hi Stephen, | | Good question, I don't have a direct answer. You could try a few things: | -Use your NIC (dos) utils to set the hw address. | -Use something like the following in the interfaces file: | auto eth0 | iface eth0 inet dhcp | pre-up ip link set address <hw-address> eth0 up | | -Add '-I <hw-address>' to the OPTIONS line in the dhcpcd config file | (although I'm not sure if this set the mac-address) Using the "ip link set address ..." is probably the best short-term solution, if you only need to do this a few times. It's also possible to re-code the EEPROM on most popular NICs so the setting is permanent (ie: "clone" your old network card). Just make sure you *NEVER* plug the two devices with the same MAC into the same hub or switch! When I need to do this, I typically use the diagnostic programs from scyld: http://www.scyld.com/network.html http://www.scyld.com/ethercard_diag.html The diagnostic programs are also very good for other low-level debug or configuration of your NIC. NOTE: IIRC, you have to set a define to compile the "unsafe" option of being able to recode the hardware EEPROM. It's been a while since I did this...there are comments in the code with the details. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDZ/5mLywbqEHdNFwRAheGAJ9zCfqOMhakz8FEwSNh1DVf0OgztQCfSBjK 3xayxspikDED5wlrmVvtAuo= =9Ris -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
