The ASIX driver doesn't currently implement the set_mac_address() call which is what would take the supplied MAC from user-space and would configure the device appropriately. Are you sure that when you set the new MAC that you didn't get an error code? I can add MAC changing functionality, I just haven't ever had the need, and it hasn't been requested until now. -- David Hollis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
