So I used the mac_eth statements like so: mac_eth0="00:50:DA:31:31:AB" iface_eth0="192.168.14.220 broadcast 192.168.14.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" and so on for each nic. This syntax has not been updated with the recent changes, but it works splendidly for nailing down a given ip to a give ethernet mac the /etc/conf.d/net.example file should contain the latest syntax on how to nail down a desired IP with the mac address. hth, James -- [email protected] mailing list
