Package: busybox Version: 1.1.3-3
I recently used the debian-netinst installer with busybox to rescue a botched system, and I got into trouble since busybox' ifconfig command would not let me set the MAC address of my ethernet card. My cable modem only accepts packets from a certain MAC address, which I set in /etc/network/interfaces for the working system: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 Also, busybox' ping should be enabled on the debian network installer, to allow a user to check whether the right interface is up on a multihomed box. An account of the whole matter can be found in the thread started by my mail: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/01/msg00220.ht Claus -- Claus Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.clausfischer.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
