Hello everybody,

During reading an mail on a Securityfocus-Mailinglist I noticed that it`s
not possible to change the lladdr-value of &any NIC to 11:22:33:44:55:66.

With ath:
kerberos $ ifconfig ath0 lladdr 1a:2a:3a:23:e3:0f
kerberos $ ifconfig ath0 lladdr 11:22:33:44:55:66
ifconfig: SIOCSIFLLADDR: Invalid argument

With xl:
*cut*
kerberos $ ifconfig xl0 lladdr 11:22:33:44:55:66
ifconfig: SIOCSIFLLADDR: Invalid argument

With bge:
kerberos $  ifconfig bge1 lladdr 11:22:33:44:55:66
ifconfig: SIOCSIFLLADDR: Invalid argument

I didn`t found anything with google why the mac-adress 11:22:33:44:55:66
should be invalid so I would thank everybody who knows the reason of this
behavior.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

p.s.
A noticed: other MACs work well
