LOL! Well, like I say, I haven't been keeping track of my old MAC addresses so temporary ones are preferable. And since I haven't been getting IP address inheritance, I have been ganging my ifconfigs thusly;
pre-up ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 && ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 up && (etc.) up ifenslave -e bond0 eth0 eth1 >If you insist on changing the EEPROM data, change the diag program to >save the original MAC address in an unused section of the EEPROM. The >only unused blocks are at offsets 0x2D-2F (45-47) and 0x34-0x3E >(52-62). I suggest changing the diag to check if offset 45-47 is zero, >and if so saving the original 6 byte station address into those three 16 >bit words. > >> I am going to relook at Michael Heldebrant's attempt to put >> bonding in the /etc/network/interfaces file (the Debian location for >> ifcfg-bond0) so that I don't need to write any more EEPROMs. > >It should have always been done that way.
