Public bug reported:
i change my mac address in the debian way, editing
/etc/network/interfaces
hwaddress ether xx:xx:...
after updating to the new kubuntu edgy it doesn't work anymore, when i
try to change it manualy with ifconfig command it said that the device
was busy, i compiled my own kernel to see if it was a b44.o module
problem and the same happened i edited b44.c file and found this:
if (netif_running(dev))
return -EBUSY;
so i fixed my problem by adding this to my interfaces file:
pre-up ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx...
but this is not supposed to be the way to do it and i don't know if
it's a network module bug or a ifup script bug.
