What happens when you do: ifconfig <interface> hw ether <macaddr> If that works then there's something funky going on. If not then it's possible there is a bug in 3c90x module or they didn't implement it in that driver. I was under the understanding that 3c90x was buggier than 3c59x but then again I don't have that hardware so I can't say from personal experience. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi
