I've tried macchanger but the thing is that at boottime the address of my network interface is always FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and therefore it gets a random mac-address from the kernel. And because of the persistent-net.rules that are saved at shutdown, my network interface is named something unpredictable. Only if I delete the udev rule by plugging it to another computer to be able to boot without persistent-net.rules I get a interface eth0. Otherwise it increments every boot (eth0, eth1, . . . ). The funny thing is, that no matter which mac address I apply to the interface with macchanger, the mac address which will be written to the udev rules at shutdown is always the one randomly generated by the kernel and not the one I apply to it. rgds Bernhard -- [email protected] mailing list
