No, it means they never change at all... :-) As some other poster noted, it is by no means sure that your particular interface can change its mac address at all. By design, mac addresses are intended to by fixed, unique, and permanent. Some cards have the ability to change its mac address or to accept a second, "soft", mac address settable at run-time. YMMV. -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson, Cinnober Financial Technology AB ! Industrigatan 2A, S-112 46 STOCKHOLM !
