Hello,

I have a box with a bridge, br0, that exists to bridge a bunch of tap 
interfaces together. I'm running a program that binds to this address to serve 
things. Unfortunately, this server (it's isc-dhcp3) doesn't like it when the 
mac address changes.

I've tried configuring a dummy interface dummy0, and adding it as the first 
interface on br0, before I bind my server to it. I was hoping that the mac 
address of dummy0 would be used as the mac address for br0.

What actually happens is that it uses the dummy0 mac address until the first 
tap interface is connected, and then the mac address changes to that of the tap 
interface, and my dhcp server stops working.

Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?

Thanks,
Simon
